During his time in the NFL Antonio Brown better known for his controversies — including one disturbing story the alleged mistreatment of women – than his talent as a wide receiver. Perhaps unsurprisingly, his latest controversy is over his campaign for former President Donald Trump.
Over the weekend, Brown and former Pittsburgh Steelers player Le’Veon Bell attended Trump’s campaign rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, to support the former president. Bell did so. He’s wearing a T-shirt that calls Vice President Kamala Harris a “tramp.”
At the rally, Brown — wearing the obligatory red MAGA hat — lashed out at Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, calling him “Tampon Tim” and claiming that “he’s not a real football coach.” He added that Minnesota’s governor “could never protect me.”
Trump continued his campaign in the region by attending the Jets-Steelers game at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Sunday. Before kick-off Brown was seen outside the stadium hand out yellow and black “Trump Vance” towels. For those unfamiliar, the Steelers use yellow and black “Terrible Towels” to mobilize their fans.
The fact that both men were so wildly primary and childish in their support campaigns drew the ire of social media. “Donald Trump, LeVeon Bell and Antonio Brown have committed over 35 felonies, many sexual offenses and multiple illegitimate children, but they have the nerve to call Kamala Harris a slut. Fuck these guys,” one user wrote.
Ryan Clark, a former Steeler and current ESPN NFL analyst, has expressed harsh criticism of Brown and Bell on social media and pointed out the real legends who support Harris.
“Former Pittsburgh Steelers divided over presidential election,” he wrote on X“On the one hand, Mean Joe Greene, Jerome Bettis and Franco Harris’ family supported her…and on the other hand, Leveon Bell and Antonio Brown. Definitely a different class of people.”
One user had perhaps the most delicious and succinct response to this: “If you vote for the same person Antonio Brown votes for, then you’re stupid,” he wrote.
