Assignment 2- Breaking News

Zappala confirmed that his office will investigate the allegations made against NFL wide receiver, Antonio Brown. Brown’s former personal trainer, Britney Taylor, accused Brown of sexual assault and rape. According the news reporters, the pair met at bible study.  Reporters say that Taylor met Brown at a Fellowship for Christian Athletes at Central Michigan University back in 2010. Taylor was partnered with Brown at the fellowship as bible study partners and then reconnected in 2017 through Facebook.
    During their fellowship days in college they would pray and have bible study during training sessions. Taylor has admitted several incidents between her and Brown over the course of their professional relationship leading to the actual rape. Taylor’s first incident with Brown was when he allegedly burst in on her while she was changing her clothes and started to kiss her uncontrollably without her consent. Taylor claimed that her second incident with Brown left her mentally unstable, confused, and for the most part embarrassed. During their second incident, Brown had masturbated behind Taylor and then ejaculated on her back, according to the source. 
After reconciling after the second incident they continued their relationship. Shortly after rekindling their professional relationship, Brown had allegedly pinned Taylor down and raped her. Brown reportedly stated the words “You know you want this.” To Taylor as he began to rape her. Brown admitted to him and Taylor having consensual sex during their relationship, as well as denying all allegations made against him through his attorney. The Allegheny County District Attorney’s office stated that they were not contacted about the forced kissed incident in 2017, which took place in their area. 
Fans are disappointed to hear about the allegations of rape regarding to Brown’s brand and name. Today Brady was asked if he had any comments about the allegations and he stated that “Things that don’t involve me, don’t involve me.” was Brady’s response. Hollywood Unlocked shared a video showing Brown and Taylor together via tweet saying, “AB’s accuser looked awfully comfy with him a few months ago.”.  Blogs and reporters have mentioned how Brown feels as if Taylor is after his money. Taylor is planning and willing to meet the NFL sometime next week, and according to a source “It is too soon speculate..” due to Taylor getting married this week.
Even though Antonio Brown has become one of the most prominent members and wide receivers of the NFL, the rape allegations are compared to the same amount of backlash Colin Kaepernick received back in 2016 when he kneeled rather than standing for the national anthem at a preseason game. African American fans feel as if African American NFL players careers and reputations are purposely being destroyed. The lawsuit has caught the patriots by surprise. The team will have to decide on whether to proceed with Brown’s contract or not. Taylor expressed how it was difficult for her to speak out as a rape victim of a professional ball player. Inappropriate messages from Brown to Taylor is evidence toward the lawsuit. Hopefully the case and reports aren’t mishandled or misguided like many other allegations toward professional ball players in the past.
