As Odell? If within the last three month Odell threw furniture out of a high rise condo window almost hitting a little kid, called the cops over his car being stolen and then slammed door in their face when they showed up, had multiple tantrums on sideline when not having it thrown to him and got cited for driving over 100mph this place would be in meltdown mode. These are isolated incidents with Brown either, he has been a much bigger malcontent than Odell but never gets criticized nationally for it. Blows my mind.
2. OBJ gets caught in the crossfire when Giants fans defend Eli.
3. He's not quite as excentric as Odell.
Also the Steelers are winning (compared to the Giants)
The point OP is trying to make is Brown has done a laundry list of things quite worse.
AJ Green did.
Sure he got heat over the boat deal but mainly because he played like shit the next day. Also, the coke in the hotel room with that chic died out pretty quickly in comparison to the kicking net incident.

Because of the Carolina game. That game put the asshole-OBJ on full display and it didn't go away. AB didn't have a game like that.

They are much worse but I think the point is that what OBJ catches the most shit about is what he does on National tv. Also just as it starts to let up on him he goes and does something stupid again (peeing like a dog) on TV which allows the talking heads to review all the other stuff from the past
People who defend Beckham constantly feel the need to compare his actions to other morons across the league, when the simple answer is, those other guys are morons too.
Is Antonio Brown a bigger idiot then Beckham? Yes. Maybe people around here don't say it as much because they're not Pittsburgh Steelers fans? Just a hunch.
Brown is a better player. Better receiver, much better punt returner as we've found out this year.
I don't know man. This is the first I'm hearing about this vase incident. I highly doubt that's the case if it was OBJ
Or why any premiere MLB FA struggles so often in NYC.
I get the Burgh vs NY to a point. The fact that if this were OBJ it would be a ESPN headline and free for all from the loud mouths on their shows. Yet it will be a blip on ESPN’s radar is a disconnect for me. Again the Burgh news ouylets are tame in comparison so that delta is understandable. But ESPN would blow this story up if it were OBJ and probabynot so much for AB.
And most people(outside of football fans) dont have a clue who Antonio brown is but those same people know who Odell is
The meltdown with the net and also the spearing with his helmet incident when he basically lost his mind fighting with Josh Norman for the entire game.
The fact that AB doesn't get scrutinized as much has very little to do with the fact that he isn't in New York. Not any more. I'm not sure what the reason is......
Their demeanor and personality traits are very similar, but I think Odell is actually much smarter in the way he carries himself (more class)
It is crazy how Antonio doesn't get nearly as much negative attention as Odell. I will never begin to understand or even try to understand blatant double standards.
Also the Steelers are winning (compared to the Giants)
This is an interesting dynamic.. Desean Jackson, Pacman Jones, Asante Samuel, Aquib Talib etc.
Yeah you're fine.
Odell dances and takes out anger on inanimate objects sometimes.. crucify him!
That is why he gets minimal negative attention. End of answer.
Is that fair? Probably not. But it's what it is.
If the Giants over the last 5 years were a perennial playoff team, the Odell "stuff" would not be much of an issue.
But when the team is 6-10? 3-13? 1-7? The focus changes on every little thing that may contribute to the team losing regardless of whether it's true or not.
In the last 13 games Odell has started, the Giants are 1-12 with the "drama" (if you want to call it that).
They will never be treated on equal footing on this extra stuff as long as one guy is on a playoff team and the other is on a team picking annually top 10 in the draft.
someday...
This guy threw a furniture out a window that almost hit a toddler. Thats way way worse.
Wheras Brown has actively done the team and coach-sabotaging things people try to pin on Beckham, with legal run ins thrown in for good measure.
It wasn't like it was some random Joe he decided to go after, it was a player who had body-slammed him and was in his face all game long

Josh Norman is a scum bag. But there could have been some serious damage if OBJ connected fully. I don’t mind going after a player but that was a scumbag move by OBJ. If roles were reversed and Norman did that to OBJ... the reaction here would be quite different.
The NY media is very different than the PIT media.

Not to mention a few Panthers players threatened Beckham during warmups.
I mean, really?
It's that more than anything else.
In Pittsburgh and other markets, the media IDOLIZES their one successful sports team. Instead of getting in their face and testing their durability, the media picks them up and celebrates them.
I mean, really?
OMFG he is guilty of ordering bad pizza!!! He makes enough to buy Italy. CUT HIM!!!
Get over yourself. If that's the worst choice he makes then I say good. He's a great football player, loves his teammates and they love him and most of all he wants to win badly. He has never ever just mailed it in no matter what the score. The guy always gives 150% and those are the type of players this team needs. So what if he has a billion tattoos, freaky hair and an earing the guy always comes to play
You just described every national media outlet. This is no longer a NY phenomenon. And all of the recent OBJ drama I've seen, I found it on Foxsports, CBS sports, ESPN, Yahoo Sports, Barstool, etc......
These national outlets have no elegance to any one local team.

Norman brought that on himself, him and his buddy should've been ejected before the game even started.
Only thing regretabble about that hit is that it didn't end Normans career. Fuck him.

Classy. Moments like these I tend to disassociate from Giants fans.
Fans who actually believe the panthers were going to hit with him a bat before the game in the middle of the field make me wonder sometimes....
Absolutely. I can't even talk about the damn Steelers and their fan base who have a rapist as their starting QB. He is a very good football player, and will likely get into the Hall of Fame. But I think he should be disqualified from the sport.
Can’t we say the same for Julio, Deandre, Theilen and maybe a few more as well?
