James Harrison has a hilarious response to Antonio Brown's CTE accusation
James Harrison is taking the accusations Antonio Brown made against him in his stride and with a dose of humor. The former Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker responded after Brown claimed that Harrison gave him CTE by wearing the wrong helmet and hitting him in the head.
CTE is Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, a condition that NFL players have been diagnosed with after taking hard hits during their NFL careers.
While doing an Instagram live, Brown said that ever since the hit from Harrison, he has been 'very aggressive' and that is why he has CTE. While it's unknown whether Brown has actually been diagnosed with the condition, he is apparently blaming the former linebacker for his own personal issues.
James Harrison is apparently not losing sleep over his former teammate's claims. He took to Twitter on Saturday afternoon with a GIF of a man laughing and a caption insinuating that's how he felt after realizing why so many people reached out to him. He accompanied that caption with the laughing emoji and the mindblown emoji.
"Me realizing why I had 150 text messages this morning."

This is just the latest incident of Brown talking about his teammates. In the past, he has said things about Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady, two quarterbacks who helped bring success during his career.
Ramon Foster takes James Harrison's side against Antonio Brown's claims
Although Antonio Brown has claimed that his alleged CTE was caused by James Harrison, another Steelers teammate has poked fun at his story.
Former Steelers offensive lineman Ramon Foster tweeted a photo of himself along with Maurkice Pouncey and Marcus Gilbert. Foster wrote, in jest, that he needs to tell the truth about something.
Foster then jokingly said that the knee injury that he appeared to have in the photo was caused by the linebacker, and that he threatened Pouncy and Gilbert as well.
"I felt I needed to tell my truth too since we revealing what our script said. It was @jharrison9292 who did that to my knee and he threatened @MaurkicePouncey and Gil too. Peep our concern."
He then joked that everyone can see how concerned the three players were at the time, followed by the laughing emojis. In his own way, Foster was saying that the allegations by Brown are clearly unproven.

It's clear that Antonio Brown's former teammates are just chalking this up to be one of his latest antics. This is something he has been notorious for in the last few years.
