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'.

Look I’ve loved AB since he was with the Steelers he’s just about always been a top tier wr. I’m just glad he was able to get a ring with the bucs anything more than that is extra. The bucs are getting a steal with what they’re paying him come on just take care of the man. He will ball out just look at his stats. Tom has trust in him in clutch situations what more do you want! Take care of him bucs show him some love.

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?

AB is the reason AB might be fired. The coach is the boss. Unless you have gotten the clearance to sit out from the training staff, you cannot just pull yourself from a game without an evaluation.
