Antonio Brown accused of obtaining fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid NFL protocols

TAMPA, Fla. — Bucs receiver Antonio Brown obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card so he could avoid NFL protocols, according to his former live-in chef.

Brown’s girlfriend, model Cydney Moreau, told Los Angeles chef Steven Ruiz in a text message July 2 that Brown was willing to pay $500 if he could get a Johnson & Johnson vaccination card. “Can you get the COVID cards?” Moreau texted Ruiz on July 2, according to a screen grab he provided to the Tampa Bay Times. Brown wanted the Johnson & Johnson vaccine card, Ruiz alleged, because it’s the only one that consists of a single shot and would require less paperwork.

Brown, who had a violent altercation after a bill dispute early last year, has already been subject to recent NFL scrutiny.
The league suspended him for the first eight games of the 2020 season for multiple violations of the league’s personal conduct policy.

The Bucs would not make Brown available to the Times for an interview. Bucs officials and Brown’s agent declined to discuss the story. And Brown did not respond to messages left on his cell phone.

At every turn, he sabotages what should have been a fantastic career.

chose to make a system that was easy to cheat, and has no interest in anything other than the appearance of having a vaccination tracking policy.

As with everything under Goodell's tenure, when there is an issue that the public is very hot and bothered about, the NFL is focused 100% on the appearance and 0% on the substance.
