Football Antonio Brown purchased fake vaccination card - Page 11

**The Franchise** · 11-18-2021, 03:34 PM

The Tampa Bay Times reports that Tampa WR Antonio Brown obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid NFL protocols.

The lesson from this for Brown, a lesson he has repeatedly failed to learn, should probably be: Remember to pay money to the people you owe money to. This was reportedly leaked by a former personal chef. It's unclear what -- if any -- fallout Brown will face from the NFL and/or his team for this. But it's press that the team did not need and it flies in the face of Bruce Arians' claim that the team was 100% vaccinated.

EXCLUSIVE: Bucs receiver Antonio Brown obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid NFL protocols, according to his former live-in chef.

Slap on the wrist, as usual. Smh

Red Dawg · 12-02-2021, 03:38 PM

Brown was already missing the next three anyway.

Pasta Little Brioni · 12-02-2021, 03:39 PM

Basically not even suspended because he's hurt. What a joke

Pasta Little Brioni · 12-02-2021, 03:40 PM

Why didn't Rodgers get suspended?

Red Dawg · 12-02-2021, 03:42 PM

Brown does have a history though of being a pain in the ass. He used an unauthorized helmet on purpose and got caught a few years ago.

The black card may be thrown around here even though it's bullshit.

Rodgers didn't lie to the team or the NFL, its not remotely the same thing.

**** the NFL.

Brown would have been suspended for the rest of the season if he was on any other team. He really saved his career by attaching himself to Brady's.

jettio · 12-02-2021, 03:52 PM

Three weeks seems fair if the player has been vaccinated in the interim and is not a repeat offender for other offenses. I think punishment should be longer than 3 weeks if player elects not to be vaccinated after pretending to have been vaccinated.

Antonio Brown should get different punishment on this than a player that has not been a prior offender under personal conduct policy.

The injury should not be a factor, if player gets a game check when injured and does not get a game check when injured and suspended that is appropriate punishment.

it would not make sense to delay punishment until a player's injury heals.

IMO, it is bullshit that Deshaun Watkins is getting paid when it seems like he would have been disciplined if he was trying to play.

Nothing to see here.

This is not nearly severe enough. I am wondering if there will be a 2cd round from the NFL if the Federal Government pursues criminal charges as they should for Fraud.

What do you think is funny here? Do you think what I posted is incorrect?

I know, right? It's a mass produced postcard that anyone could make at home that was hastily scribbled upon by some random volunteer.

**chiefforlife** · 12-02-2021, 07:52 PM

Given ABs history with violating the personal conduct policy, his punishment should be far worse than whoever this other guy is.

Also, the wording is very suspicious. "Misrepresenting his vaccine status", I wonder why it doesnt say using a fake vaccine card?

Heres why;

Using or falsifying vaccine records is a federal offense, with each offense carrying the potential for prison time, according to NBC affiliate WUSA 9.

Using or selling a fake COVID-19 vaccine card is illegal. The FBI said in March that falsifying a federal seal is a federal crime. Vaccine cards have two federal seals: one from the CDC and one from HHS. Forging either of these is a violation that could carry a fine and up to five years in prison.

Using a fake vaccine card is less likely to lead to jail time and more likely to lead to probation, according to the report. Those who sell thousands of fake vaccine cards are more likely to get the maximum sentence, the report said.

Depending on the state, using a fake vaccine card can break state laws too. New York made falsifying vaccine records a class E felony. In Washington D.C., making fake vaccine cards violates its forgery law. In both states, the offenses could lead to time in prison.

Did you hear Curt Menefee mention that the FBI had said that Brown could be facing Federal Charges that carry up to 5 years in prison for his actions?
