A glove thrown to fans by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown during an epic on-field meltdown sold for thousands over the weekend.
An online bidder bought the glove for $16,911.60 through an online auction Saturday from Lelands, which specializes in selling sports memorabilia. It's unclear who sold the glove and how it was authenticated.
Lelands advertises the glove as the one Brown threw at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, last month. The Buccaneers were in the middle of the third quarter of a game against the New York Jets when he erupted in frustration on the sideline.
Brown threw off his jersey, his shoulder pads, his undershirt and the glove before he exited the field alone. He was released from the team after the display.
Brown said in a statement later that his frustration stemmed from a disagreement with Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians, who he said had been pressuring him to play on an injured ankle, NBC Sports reported.
"I played until it was clear that I could not use my ankle to safely perform my playing responsibilities," Brown said. "On top of that, the pain was extreme."
