During a Trump campaign rally in Latrobe, Pa., former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown made his presence felt as he took the stage.
Brown didn’t shy away from expressing his views as he criticized Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
After delivering a speech at a Donald Trump rally, former NFL receiver Antonio Brown made a memorable appearance in Pittsburgh.
He was seen outside the Steelers’ stadium, which he once called home, distributing “Trump Vance” yellow and black towels to enthusiastic fans prior to “Sunday Night Football.”

During a speech in Latrobe, Pennsylvania on Saturday, Brown displayed his support for President Trump and his running mate JD Vance.
He even went as far as mocking the Democratic candidates, nominee Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz. With the election just around the corner, Brown proudly waved “Terrible Towels” featuring the names of Trump and Vance.

The Steelers Nation continues to have an enduring affection for Brown, who blossomed into a superstar receiver after being selected from Central Michigan in the 2010 draft.
Antonio Brown showcased his exceptional skills during his time with the Steelers, earning a remarkable seven Pro Bowl selections. His consistent performance on the field was evident as he secured six consecutive Pro Bowl nods from 2013 to 2018.
Furthermore, Brown’s dominance in the league was highlighted by leading the NFL in receiving yards twice, in 2014 and 2017, and also in receiving touchdowns in 2018.
Brown’s football career took a turn for the worse after the 2018 season when he joined the New England Patriots for just one game.
He then went on to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he infamously left the field at MetLife Stadium during a game against the Jets in 2021 with his jersey and pads torn off.
Brown, accompanied by former Steelers teammate Le’Veon Bell in Latrobe on Saturday, took the podium and vehemently criticized Harris and Walz.
During the event, Brown addressed the crowd with a thought-provoking question about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
He questioned whether they were aware of their alleged proposal to place tampons in boys’ bathrooms. Brown deemed this idea as “insane,” prompting the audience to consider the implications of such a decision.
Brown’s continued support for Trump has prompted the Steelers and Acrisure Stadium security team to enhance their protocols. They have also cautioned fans about potential delays entering and exiting the stadium due to the former president’s scheduled arrival.
The team has released a statement confirming that they are taking necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of all fans, especially with the presence of former President Trump expected in an individual suite.
They are working closely with the Secret Service and local authorities to make sure that the fan experience remains consistent with every Steelers home game at Acrisure Stadium.
