December 4, 2021 at 9:52 PM

This week, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown was suspended for three games for violating the NFL's COVID policy because he “misrepresented” his vaccination status.

MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin breaks down the reason behind that disparity with comedians Dean Obeidallah and Aida Rodriguez.
