The New England Patriots say they have released wide receiver Antonio Brown, who has been sued over allegations of rape and sexual assault. Brown denies the accusations.
"The New England Patriots are releasing Antonio Brown," a Patriots team spokesperson said in a statement on Friday afternoon."We appreciate the hard work of many people over the past 11 days, but we feel that it is best to move in a different direction at this time."Brown took to Twitter on Friday afternoon, thanking the Patriots for the opportunity in a series of tweets and saying,"The marathon continues."Thanks for the opportunity appreciate @Patriots pic.twitter.
But in a week when a second woman has accused Brown of sexual misconduct, and with Nike cutting ties with the Patriots wide receiver, the questions continued to come.At the end of his opening address to reporters on Friday -- before the team announced Brown's release -- Belichick did acknowledge Brown, saying:"I know there are questions about Antonio. We take all the situations with our team very seriously. There are some things that we're looking into.
