Antonio Brown's Albany Empire gets kicked out of the Arena League after he fails to pay a fine

In today’s world, technology has become an indispensable part of our lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, work, and live. One of the most significant technological advancements in recent years has been the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a field of computer science that aims to create machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. In this article, we will explore the benefits and drawbacks of AI and its impact on society.

The controversial wide receiver Antonio Brown continues to tarnish his legacy with his questionable off-field antics. The former Pittsburgh Steelers star wideout has had multiple run-ins with law enforcement in recent times and now he has embarrassed himself after taking on an ownership role of the National Arena League franchise Albany Empire.

The former Steelers receiver Antonio Brown bought a majority stake in Albany Empire back in April. Brownโ€™s tenure as an owner of the New York team has been an absolute disaster, to say the least. Since Brown bought the team, it has seen multiple coaches and both quarterbacks on the roster were cut following their loss last weekend.

Albany dropped to 1-6 in the league after their weekend loss. And now, the team has been kicked out of the league after the former NFL receiver failed to pay the league-mandated assessments and fines.

โ€œAfter exhausting all avenues, the NAL board of owners have decided unanimously to terminate the membership agreement of the Albany Empire,โ€ย the league said in a release.ย โ€œThe decision was reached after an emergency conference call of the members in good standing to discuss the Empireโ€™s failure to pay their league-mandated and overdue assessments.โ€

Under the league ownership agreement, each team is mandated to pay one-seventh of the leagueโ€™s budget every month. Brown was given time till Thursday to make the payment for the May month, but he missed paying, which led to the league calling an emergency meeting and kicking out his team. Albanyโ€™s weekend home game has been canceled, and the rest of the leagueโ€™s schedule will be reworked without Albany.

When Antonio Brown quit on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the middle of their 2021 week 17 regular season game against the New York Jets, everyone firmly believed Brownโ€™s NFL career has come to an end.

But apparently, one can never say never in the NFL. The former All-Pro receiverโ€™s agent claims that Brown is currentlyย โ€œexploring the right fitโ€ย for him in the league.

Brown hinted at joining the Baltimore Ravens earlier this year, but no NFL team has openly shown interest in the problematic pass catcher. Brown has been the center of many controversies throughout his career.

But the Buccaneers legend Tom Brady took a shot at the former Pro Bowl receiver and helped him win a Super Bowl ring in the 2020-21 season. Brown ended up quitting on Brady and the Bucs the following season and he has been out of the league ever since.
