The Oakland Raiders learned that Antonio Brown is mounting a new offensive against the NFL on Monday after learning that the league did not approve of the helmet that he wanted to wear for the 2019 season.
The Raiders’ newly-acquired star wide receiver has been in a battle with the league after learning that his long-time Schutt Air Advantage helmet is no longer approved by the league due to tightened safety standards.
After finding a newer version of his preferred helmet that was reportedly approved by the league, both the Raiders and Brown thought that the saga had come to its merciful end. It turns out, however, that this was not the case.
The league still believes that this Schutt Air Advantage helmet, despite being a newer version of the one that Brown previously wore, does not meet safety standards. Brown has filed a new complaint against the NFL as he looks to wear his preferred helmet.
It turns out, however, that the Raiders’ GM Mike Mayock is getting tired of the fight.
On Monday, Mayock stated that it is time for Brown to be “all in or all out” as the team prepares for the 2019 season. Brown has barely participated in Oakland’s training camp this summer as he is involved in a fight with the league over the helmet.
Brown might be passionate about his choice of headwear, but Raiders brass appears to be getting tired of the theatrics and simply wants him to start practicing.
