Goodell: Antonio Brown situation is bigger than football

MIAMI — Antonio Brown hasn’t been a player in the National Football league for more than four months, but his name is still a hot topic around the league during Super Bowl week.

Wednesday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell even acknowledged Brown’s situation during his annual address.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Goodell said Brown’s recent off-field drama is bigger than football.

“We want to help him get on the right track,” Goodell said.

Brown was arrested last week after an altercation at his Hollywood, Florida home after allegedly throwing a rock at a moving company employee.

Brown spent several nights on house arrest but was allowed to remove his ankle monitor earlier this week and allowed to travel around the country freely as long as he checks in with the court daily.
