Social media reacts to Raiders releasing Antonio Brown
The Oakland Raiders finally had enough of Antonio Brown, cutting the star wide receiver on Saturday just hours after Brown had posted on Instagram asking to be released.
Social media has gone crazy through each development of this weeks-long drama between Brown and the Raiders, and to nobody’s surprise, it blew up on Saturday when the team announced it was getting rid of Brown.
Here is a collection of some of the best reactions on Twitter:
