Antonio Brown Makes Appearance at Donald Trump Rally
As Election Day draws nearer, Brown was one of the speakers at a recent rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The former Pittsburgh Steelers star took center stage at a Pennsylvania rally, sharing his disdain for Democratic nominee, VP Kamala Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz.
"Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, did you really know they want to put tampons in the boys' bathroom?" Brown asked the crowd. "That's really insane, right?"

Brown's comments upset several comments on social media.
"Speaking of tampons, Trump and Antonio Brown are d****es," one user said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Antonio Brown is insane and a complete scumbag. And, apparently, he is a complete idiot who believes the ridiculous lie about tampons in boys bathroom. The GOP is a sick joke at this point," another user added. '
NFL Star Dispels Rumors About Final Game
Antonio Brown's NFL career was filled with controversy. But the finale of his career was perhaps his most memorable act. In his final career game with the Tampa Bay Buccanneers, Brown appeared to be having a dispute on the sideline with an assistant coach during a game against the New York Jets.
Brown could have talked the issues out with the coach calmly on the sideline or perhaps even waited until he got to the locker room. But instead Brown removed his helmet, jersey, and shoulder pads. He then ran off the sideline, onto the field, and into the locker room as he pumped up the crowd at MetLife Stadium.
A lot of people chalked up the spectacle as Brown just being up to his old antics. But he maintains the argument started after he told a coach he couldn't play because he was hurt.
"I took a seat on the sideline and my coach came up to me, very upset, and shouted, 'What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?' I told him, 'It's my ankle.' But he knew that. It was well-documented and we had discussed it," Brown said.
"He then ordered me to get on the field. I said, 'Coach, I can't.' He didn't call for medical attention. Instead, he shouted at me, 'YOU'RE DONE!' while he ran his finger across his throat. Coach was telling me that if I didn't play hurt, then I was done with the Bucs."
