Nike drops Antonio Brown after sexual assault allegations

Nike, which had a shoe deal with the New England Patriots wide receiver, has parted ways with the receiver, according to the Boston Globe.

A Nike spokesperson confirmed the news to the Globe, but did not provide additional details regarding the decision.

The 31-year-old Brown was accused, in a civil lawsuit, of sexual assault Sept. 10. Brown’s former trainer accused Brown of three incidents of rape and sexual assault.

Since that initial accusation, more stories about Brown’s behavior have emerged. A report from Sports Illustrated revealed another alleged instance of Brown engaging in sexual misconduct.
