Has Antonio Brown changed his mind about wanting to stay in Pittsburgh?

The Steelers wide receiver continues to show that he is not bipolar. He's tripolar. Maybe quadpolar — if that's a thing.

If it isn't yet, it will be as soon as Brown is diagnosed.

Now — after weeks of turning his nose up at the Steelers and pandering to the Packers and 49ers fan bases — Brown is pleading for acceptance from Steelers fans again.

SteelerNation RT if u AB in Pittsburgh

— Antonio Brown (@AB84) February 3, 2019

I'm going to assume A.B. meant "SteelerNation RT (retweet) if u WANT AB in Pittsburgh." But perhaps he was too busy grooming his blonde mustache to pay attention to his syntax.

Regardless of his insubordination at the end of the 2018 season, that tweet still got 28,000 retweets and 18,300 likes at the time of this post.

And some of the responses were quite entertaining.

U high?

Can we have both? Him back as a grown up?

— Margie Guyer (@MargieGuyer) February 3, 2019

You should probably start returning calls

— Dylan Milesend (@DMilesend) February 3, 2019

And there also were those who are willing to forgive and just straight up want him back.

Please stay in Pittsburgh AB ???❤️

Whatever you’re going through, Steeler Nation is a FAMILY. We deal with adversities together. Come back, and let’s win. We need you. The team needs you.
