Interestingly, Caitlin Clark responded by blocking Antonio Brown on Twitter. Instead of backing down, Brown doubled down by sharing a screenshot of Clark blocking him. He added a caption with a racial slur (“Cracker of the Day”) and referred to Clark as “Cousin It” in a mocking manner.

Brown has been criticized for similar actions in the past. His history with Twitter, now X, is long and full of controversy. Brown is known for erratic posts that get him into hot water with fans, athletes, and even legal trouble.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers star has also posted strange content involving other celebrities. This includes a cartoon of him kissing singer Taylor Swift, photoshopping himself with Tom Brady’s ex-wife, and implying Lakers owner Jeannie Buss was involved in a threesome.
Brown’s social media use has even brushed against legal issues. He’s refused to comply with a court order to pay a jeweler and has posted controversial photos of political figures.
Antonio Brown’s NFL career
Antonio Brown had a very successful NFL career, especially during his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
