“I’m here for a man who shares these values,” Brown stated. “Donald Trump knows what it means to succeed and to keep America great. In my journey, especially as a Super Bowl champ and a father of seven, I’ve faced highs and lows. I’ve seen Trump handle adversity just like I have.”
Brown also gave a nod to Steelers fans during his speech, acknowledging that both he and Trump have been labeled “crazy” by the media.
“It’s great to be with the best fans in the world! But we know the media will label us crazy for speaking out here. We’re not the ones who are crazy; it’s them. Did you really hear about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz wanting to put tampons in boys’ bathrooms? That’s insane!”
He even took a jab at Walz, mocking his prior football coaching career. “Tampon Tim Walz isn’t a real football coach—he could never cover me!”
Rumors suggest that Trump might join the Steelers’ game against the New York Jets on Sunday, potentially watching from a suite alongside Brown, Bell, and various politicians.
Antonio Brown remains a polarizing figure in NFL history. He has faced legal issues, including an arrest for alleged child support evasion and a previous warrant over domestic battery claims—though those allegations were eventually dropped. Additionally, he was sued by a former trainer over sexual assault allegations, which Brown has denied and settled out of court.
