If you thought the squabble between Antonio Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers was over, guess again.
Brown took to Twitter on Sunday to issue a suggestion to users.
His message: “Keep your emotions off the internet.”

While the responses to the tweet were comical (if you've paid any attention to the hubbub tethered to Brown in the last few months), it didn't get all that interesting until JuJu Smith-Schuster got in the picture.

Hmm…This one looks familiar.
Brown expressed “emotion” when a Twitter user posted an image which declared his former wide receiver teammate the team's MVP in 2018.

Smith-Schuster recorded 111 receptions, 1,426 yards, and seven touchdowns last season. But as Brown mentions, he also had a costly fumble against the New Orleans Saints that ultimately knocked the team out of making the playoffs.
Brown forced a trade with the Steelers before the trade deadline last month, which landed him on the Oakland Raiders. It's clear that the hard feelings with how things ended are still present – even with the team's most beloved member.
JuJu has already become a fan favorite in Pittsburgh, and his offended response to Brown may have just confirmed that Steeler fans are happy with who their primary pass catcher will be next season.
Crazy how big that ego got to be to take shots at people who show you love! Smh
