It’s All Good: No Worries Between Steelers Antonio Brown and Todd Haley

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: | Updated on September 2, 2016 CommentsComments (0)

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown confirms there’s no beef between him and offensive coordinator Todd Haley, after a confrontation on the football field.

The incident happened during Steelers 20-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

“We’re good,” Brown said Wednesday after practice to ESPN reporters. “We just talked about some things we could do better as a whole and what we could do to get on the right page to start winning.”

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Brown confronted Haley because he wanted more pass plays called for him.

“It’s a little frustrating when you’re 0-2 and you want to contribute to your team and be a difference out there, but you’ve got to stay positive,” said Brown, who caught a team-high of six passes against the Bengals and was targeted nine times in the game. “There’s a lot more football to play, and you can’t hang your head yet.”

Brown went on to say, “Would I like the ball more? Absolutely. But sometimes you’ve got to let the game come to you. I didn’t think it was a big issue. I guess that’s what happens when you lose.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
