Antonio Brown, a former NFL wide receiver who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is embroiled in his latest controversy for disrespecting Cailin Clark of the Iowa Hawkeyes with a derogatory comment.

Brown rose to prominence as one of the top receivers of the 2010s after being selected in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Despite facing numerous challenges, he carved out a successful career, winning a Super Bowl in 2020 and tallying 83 touchdown receptions. However, his inability to maintain focus is evident through his ownership of the Albany Empire, involvement in firearms disputes, allegations of sexual misconduct and domestic abuse, and now, his disparaging remarks toward a 22-year-old, showcasing a pattern of concerning behavior.

As Clark was busy breaking records and closing in on records that have stood alone for 50 years, Brown was sat at home watching her on X, formerly Twitter, when he decided to comment, “B**ch look like Mel Gibson.”

As ever, fans love a bit of controversy and they wasted no time taking to X, to react to Brown‘s comments with many finding them funny but quite a few also criticising the ex-NFL player for speaking up.

The tweet gained 46,000 likes from 11.6m views and 1700 comments with 51000 reposts after being uploaded at 11:35 on February 17.

One user wrote, “@AB84 [Brown] gets triggered when a white person has success.”

Whilst a second said, simply, “Unfollowed.”

A third added, “Delete this.”

Whilst a fourth said, “She’s employed and you ain’t.,” accompanied by laughing emojis.

A fifth commented, “I’d love to see Caitlin Clark dust AB on the court. And she would.”
