AB in his statement tonight said a coach approached him and when he wouldn’t go in the coach said “you’re done. You’re done” and made a slashing motion with his thumb across his throat. There are cameras catching every square inch of that arena on game day. If film of that interaction surfaces, AB has some real weight to his side of the story.

[@ViolentMLG]

For more context; This is because AB said he was in too much pain to play, his ankle was seriously hurt, and he didn't think it was safe, they just gave him insane meds to help with the pain and expected him to play through it, he refused, coach told him 'he's done'. Now, if that's true, I can understand how he reacted, I would've done the same honestly. I guess time will tell.

It is why he took his jersey off. Dumb people are calling him crazy for it, but by taking his jersey off, he could hop through the endzone and wave to fans on his way to the locker room without risking a penalty for the offense. AB for once was following the rules, which goodell confirmed with the NFL statement saying AB did nothing wrong and won't be punished for walking off the field while waving to fans. It is a very bad look if you punish an injured player for waving to fans on his way off the field.

Just watched a video from Mikerphone, AB has been telling the Bucs about his ankle, they knew about it and shot him with pain killers before the game. He claims he has text messages documenting all this. He had an MRI Monday morning and has loose bones in his ankle plus a torn tendon or some such thing. He named the hospital and Dr that did the MRI....so.....I guess we will see what happens

Obviously I’m nowhere near the athlete that AB is and I never will be close to competing at his level. But I played in a state championship for baseball with a torn labrum in my throwing shoulder and from looking at me nobody would have known I was hurt. I don’t think we can look at him on the field and say “well he looked fine” because he’s going to do everything he can on the field to play through whatever pain he’s in. Same with when he was leaving. Just because he wasn’t acting super hurt doesnt mean he wasn’t in a ton of pain.

It’s possible that the Bucs knew that AB had a fake card before hand and only suspended him just to act like they were holding responsible when it became pubic, causing AB to be upset because the team was being fake, like his card! No one is talking about that. This maybe the first place where you heard it as a possible scenario.

[@htulben]

NFL not the Bucs suspended him!!! Also BA is a 3 times cancer survivor and QB consultant is 80 plus years old. They would never agree to that scenario.

[@prayerjustforyou1022]

​@@htulben You're correct about it being the NFL. My main point is that others from the team knew. Also BA being a cancer survivor and 80+ has nothing to do with the honesty or possible knowledge of the team about AB's Vax status along with two other players also; Edwards, and free-agent John Franklin had acquired fake vaccination cards. Being sick or old doesn't stop people from withholding the truth for the gain of the team, look at Aaron Rogers, his team knew he was lying and no one really talked about the team. It's like a cop not telling on another cop, loyalty to the team. Being that it was 3 of them or "at Least 3" and this is a Pro-Team with doctors, the knew, just didn't try to know, or didn't want to know the truth! 🤔 Makes me wonder if Tom Brady is Vax, I haven't heard any reporters ask that question?

[@DrMathOfficial]

@@michaelmckenzie6311 I agree, the great Jimmy Johnson (coach) said it perfecty. He spoke on the fact that he ABSOLUTELY treats the star players differently, and lets them get away with more...absolutely. Now in this situation here, I don't know if we can even say that AB needs to be allowed to get away with something. Because if whats being reported is true, AB is justified. Would I have stripped half naked and left like that? HELL NO! lol. But still. And yea, Bruce Arians might be getting fired lol. Look at the reality of it all, before Brady and AB arrived, his Buc's have been GARBAGE, among the very last in the league, to IMMEDIATELY winning a Super bowl when Brady and AB get there. Come on! And the more I think about it, I suspect that when Brady and AB leaves, the bucs will go back to being garbage. So, the owner had better reallly move wisely here. If I was the owner, I would have to strongly consider choosing AB over Bruce A!

[@michaelmckenzie6311]

@@DrMathOfficial True! I'm not condoning ABs' antics afterwards or if something else comes out to excuse the HC! I remember Barry Bonds' HC had to tell a lesser player that when he can hit 70 homers he could have his own practice regiment as well and that coach detested Bonds if I'm not mistaken (could be wrong on which coach)! Nevertheless, that coach knew who buttered his bread to keep his kids in private schools and a safe gated community (lol)! My honest opinion, I believe Arians was being bullheaded and played on ABs' situation on the team! Even after the man proved to be the icing on the cake w/Superbowl victory! AB is/was the difference!

As someone who played through junior college, those same players _still_ limp around the field between plays with their adrenaline going. High pain tolerance or not, you're not going to continuously put your normal weight on it when you're not playing, simply because you don't trust it. So why is he running and literally jumping his way off the field if he was so worried about his ankle?
