Antonio Brown Contract: Steelers WR responds to criticism via Twitter

When reports surfaced of Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl WR not showing to voluntary workouts, fans and media were wondering why. Then reports surfaced from several media members stating Brown is requesting a new contract, and then the storm started to brew.

Fans criticized Brown for being 'selfish', while others felt the man should get paid for what he wants, but there was a clear disdain within the fan base regarding Brown's situation and how he was handling it.
