The Raiders Are the Most Dysfunctional Team in NFL History After Allowing Antonio Brown to Play

The Oakland Raiders looked like they were ready to stand up to Antonio Brown and his antics, but they've shriveled down to a sorry NFL franchise with absolutely no backbone.

After a heated altercation between Brown and general manager Mike Mayock, word got out that the Raiders were intending to suspend the star wide receiver. However, they've since changed their tune -- in a huge, cowardly way -- when head coach Jon Gruden announced that Brown would be available to play against the Broncos on Monday.

No matter how heartfelt Brown's apology to the team was, this is utterly embarrassing for the Raiders. Brown makes a huge deal out of what helmet to wear and calls you out for "hating" on him, and your response to him walking all over you is...taking him back?

Between being unable to hang onto Khalil Mack or Amari Cooper and signing Richie Incognito and Vontaze Burfict, talking themselves into trading for AB seemed like the right amount of dysfunction for Oakland. And even after threatening Mayock physically, the Raiders have been suckered right into Brown's game.

The Raiders' dysfunction has once again allowed Antonio Brown to get his way, which will likely further propel his dramatic incidents in the future. After all, he is proving first hand that a superstar can get away with literally anything.

Saying "never mind" to Brown's suspension is an incredibly new low for the Raiders, and provides insight as to how the team operates. They might as well give the general manager job to AB because he seems to run the whole place.
