Mr. Big Chest had a lot to get off his Wednesday, with Antonio Brown taking aim at the NFL over what he perceives as racism and calling Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger a “loser.”

Brown, who remains unemployed while the NFL investigates sexual assault allegations against the All-Pro wide receiver, went on a Twitter tirade that was apparently fueled by the league’s delay in ruling on any punishment he might receive.

Brown met with NFL officials a month ago, and it has been three months since the sexual misconduct allegations first surfaced.

Brown started his social media rant by accusing the NFL of holding “players out against there (sic) will with no criminal charges pending,” while saying that Caucasian players with domestic violence charges are allowed to continue playing.

Brown also accused the NFL Players’ Association of stealing money from him.

Then, Brown took a shot at Roethlisberger, his former quarterback when a Twitter user called him a “bum” and said Roethlisberger “made that bum.”
