Controversial former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is back in the social media spotlight, and his 1.7 million followers are bracing for the ride. Brown’s career has been a constant tug-of-war between electrifying wins on the field and strange antics online. His humor can be hit-or-miss; some find it hilarious, and others consider it “too much.” 

Brown has recently targeted everyone from politicians (roasting Donald Trump and Joe Biden) to celebrities like Taylor Swift. Swifties even canceled him because of it. Now, President Biden joins the list. He might have finally had enough of Brown’s “bizarre comments,” thus setting a boundary.

Biden is known for forming close personal connections with individuals through direct interactions. Recently, former NFL wide receiver AB took a controversial step by posting photos of President Biden on social media, describing him as the “Cracker of the Day.” These images showed Biden sniffing women’s hair and were shared widely with the President tagged. Not just that, he recently posted another video of Biden, where the President looks “quite lost” in the rain. He posted it with a similar caption — “Check this cracker for CTE.” In an unexpected turn, President Biden responded directly to AB’s remarks, blocking him and drawing a clear boundary. AB himself shared this on his X handle with the hashtag #CTESPN.

AB hitting out at Joe Biden and making fun of pop star Taylor Swift has recently gained significant attention. The Swifties have already stopped supporting Antonio Brown. The ex-wide receiver feels like he’s in a movie after the President blocked him online. However, this isn’t the first time Brown has got some backlash. Such issues keep coming up for him.

Ex-NFL star’s social media behavior stirs controversy

The former Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown made a dramatic exit in 2022 by storming off mid-game against the Jets. Since then, he has been in the social media spotlight. He’s been making jokes on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a serious brain condition many ex-NFL players face, using the hashtag “#CTESP.”

He has also repeatedly targeted President Biden using the same hashtag with disrespectful tweets. Brown seems to rack up enemies, as he was recently “canceled” by Taylor Swift’s fanbase for sharing an AI image of them kissing. Interestingly, AB also posted these on Instagram, captioning, “Has there been a better week in human history?” The NFL star’s “weekly review of life” looks quite chaotic. He also adds to the chaos by mocking fellow sports figures like Caitlin Clark, Tom Brady, and Chandler Jones, leaving many wondering who his next target will be. What are your thoughts on this?
