A lesson in reform necessary for Brown

Respect is for those who deserve it, and not for those who demand it. Antonio Brown has a long road to travel ahead when it comes to people finally writing him down in their good books. But it will also depend on how he reflects himself to society.

Maybe what the rapper needs right now is guidance. If someone comes up and shows him the correct road to take, the road to reformation will not be difficult for Brown. The main question that still lingers is when will he realize it. Is reform possible in him, or is he just built the way he is? We hope to see him get the recognition he deserves, but not in a negative aspect anymore.
