Some of the NFL‘s most notorious scandals have involved women, and they often only take accountability after they’ve been caught doing something wrong. Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown recently spoke to incarcerated teenagers about how their lifestyles affect the way they engage with the other sex, the Toronto Sun reports.
Brown began by discussing the misconception that one’s issues or vices can easily be resolved once one starts making a lot of money. “Every little problem that you may have, whatever vice you have. You got a women problem right now? Get $100 million, see that problem gon’ show up loud and clear,” he told inmates at Delaware County Juvenile Probation Offices. “It’s people getting in trouble right now, bro, that we may laugh at but we don’t see the signs. Whole time though, that’s a problem.”
The 27-year-old football player continued by shifting attention to his peers in the NFL. “There’s guys that’s in the league getting in trouble with women, they got a fetish with women and doing little stuff,” he said. “Because when you got all that type of money, dog, that stuff shows up because now its at your leisure. Now you can get any woman you want. You can pick and choose.”
A.J. Brown continued by shifting the conversation to pornographic content and how it can affect men’s mindsets toward sex and women. “This going to a whole ‘nother level because what porn does to your brain, it desensitizes your brain,” he added. “You may think, like, ‘Oh man, she looks good’ or whatever. No, you’re looking at [her] as an object, not as a human being.”
The newly crowned Super Bowl winner wasn’t afraid to call out the people he is in the trenches with for how they treat women, either. “I see that sh*t all the time from my teammates. My teammates talk about stuff […] from other players and all this other stuff — that’s real, dog,” he said before going in-depth on how money can change people.
“So just cause you got all these blessings, all this money, and all this sh*t, everything ain’t peaches and cream,” he said. “Whatever problems you may have deep down […] get some bread, get some money, get whatever you’re desiring. I promise you that sh*t gon’ show up and you ain’t gon’ be able to hide it. ‘Cause when you get that bread, who you are really comes out […] make sure that you’re doing what you’re supposed to do and [be] who you supposed to be before you even get to that level.”

There are multiple infamous examples of what A.J. Brown described. Most recently, former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was accused of sexual misconduct with several massage therapists. Deshaun Watson was suspended for 11 games in the 2022-2023 NFL season for similar allegations. Super Bowl winner Ray Rice and Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt both assaulted women in the past, as well.
