Antonio Brown, the former NFL wide receiver turned social media provocateur, has a new boast—a unique distinction of being blocked by both President Joe Biden and his former teammate, Tom Brady. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Brown showcased screenshots from the accounts of Biden and Brady, indicating that he had been blocked by both. Accompanying this unusual claim was a hashtag alluding to CTE, as Brown continues to deny suffering from the brain condition often associated with contact sports.
“Only person in the world blocked by both Tom Brady and Joe Biden #CTESPN,” boasted Brown, sending NFL fans into a frenzy of laughter and disbelief. They found it especially amusing that not only the President of the United States but also Brady, who had been a supportive teammate, had taken this action. One fan on X expressed:
“It’s hilarious that Tom Brady gave you so many opportunities, and yet you show no gratitude and throw it all away.”
Another user exclaimed:
“You must truly be a menace to society if the GOAT of football and the POTUS felt the need to block you!”
Many were shocked by Brady’s action, with one commenting, “Even his own teammate blocked him,” while others wondered aloud about the reasons behind Brady’s decision.
Brown has been at the center of numerous controversies over the past few years. In 2021, while with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he admitted to using a fake vaccination card. The same year, during a game against the New York Jets, he made headlines for abruptly leaving mid-game, running off the field shirtless from MetLife Stadium.
Brady, who had advocated for Brown’s signing with the Buccaneers, may have been further motivated to block Brown due to his actions following Brady’s divorce from Gisele Bundchen. Brown created and shared mocking images of himself with Bundchen, adding insult to injury.
Fans on X reacted to this unique situation:
“Just imagine—Brady welcomes him into his home, and then has to resort to blocking him. CTE sure is something else.”
“TB got you a Super Bowl ring, and this is how you repay him? Just stop with the antics already.”
“AB is truly on a chaotic run like no other.”
While Brown’s rocky relationship with Brady provides some context for the block, it remains a mystery what led to his being blocked by President Biden. The former NFL player continues to stir up drama and leave fans guessing about his next move.
Bills Safety, Damar Hamlin, Blocks Antonio Brown Following Online Spat
NFL player Antonio Brown seems to have added another name to his growing list of people blocked on social media – Buffalo Bills safety, Damar Hamlin. The development comes after a feud between the two athletes played out online for all to see.
Brown shared a screenshot on Friday morning, revealing that Hamlin had blocked him on the platform. Their clash began when Brown made reference to Hamlin’s cardiac arrest incident, suggesting it was a conspiracy theory and comparing it to ‘a fictional character’s death’. He is reported to have questioned the authenticity of what took place during those terrifying moments on the field back in January 2023.
Hamlin, understandably, took exception to these comments, hitting back at Brown for his insensitivity and disbelief regarding the harrowing incident. The online dispute attracted attention, including that of sports fans and media outlets alike. With each post and reply, the tension escalated between them.
This is not the first time Brown has been in hot water over his social media activity, having recently blocked President Joe Biden and NFL legend Tom Brady, among others. While it is unclear what exactly triggered Brown’s online behavior, many are watching to see who might be next on his block list or if he will issue any statements regarding these incidents.
