New England Patriots wide receiver Antonnio Brown has been given his walking papers by Nike according to a report released earlier today. The troubled NFL superstar was accused of rape by a personal trainer a few weeks ago.
Reps for Nike did not say exactly why they made the move, but it comes on the heels of a woman named Britney Taylor filing a federal lawsuit citing that Brown raped her in 2018. Brown was signed to a signature shoe deal with Nike for the Nike Tech Trainer which was released in February of this year and sold for $100.
