sport news Antonio Brown insists he DID get Covid vaccine, despite being suspended by NFL ... trends now

Antonio Brown has insisted he did get vaccinated against Covid-19, despite his 2021 suspension for allegedly misrepresenting his vaccination status. 

The NFL handed the former wide receiver a three-game suspension without pay in December 2021, while he was playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for lying about being vaccinated. 

Brown had been accused by his personal chef of attempting to pay for a fake COVID-19 vaccine card before the season in an effort to skirt the NFL's rules for unvaccinated players.

However, the controversial former NFLer has now hit back at those allegations, insisting that he did in fact receive the vaccine. 

'In the NFL we had to,' he told Jason Whitlock on the sports columnist's "podcast. 'I did the Pfizer shot. I did it on camera too.'

The Super Bowl winner clarified that it wasn't water or any other fake solution that he tried to pass off as the vaccine when pressed by Whitlock.  

Brown blamed the media for creating a false narrative when asked by Whitlock about the misperception of his vaccination status. 

'[They] Made a perception about me that wasn't a reality and that was just one of those things that I had to deal with in the media - that negativity,' he claimed. 

'Imagine that you've done all the right things and you're out there trying to be your best self for you and your family. That's all I was doing out there, trying to help the team be great. 

'Now I'm hurting, I can't provide a service. I've got a dark cloud over me, something to do with something wrong with the card. Then I proved them with my card and the shot and they still didn't change the narrative. They just left that out there.' 

Brown claimed that the NFL announced that an investigation was being carried out
