Former NFL star Antonio Brown throws “Trump/Vance” rally towels to Steelers fans in MAGA gear

One evening after speaking at a Donald Trump rally, former NFL receiver Antonio Brown was spotted in Pittsburgh outside the stadium he once called home with the Steelers, wearing yellow and handed out black “Trump Vance” towels to fans. “

The former president is expected to be in attendance at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday night when the Steelers take on Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets.

And Brown, who took the stage for a speech in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday in which he mocked Democratic candidates Kamala Harris and Vice President Tim Walz, continued to show his love for Trump and his running mate JD Vance “Terrible Towels” with their names on it as the election is less than a month away.

Brown wore a black hat with Trump’s signature slogan, “Make America Great Again,” after wearing a similar red hat and MAGA shirt during Saturday’s rally.

Steelers Nation still loves Brown after he developed into a superstar receiver with them after being drafted out of Central Michigan in 2010.

Brown made seven Pro Bowls with the Steelers, including six straight from 2013 to 2018, and led the league in receiving touchdowns twice (2014, 2017) and receiving touchdowns (2018).

However, after the 2018 season, Brown’s football career took a turn for the worse, and he was traded to the New England Patriots for a single game before being traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whom he infamously left at MetLife Stadium with his jersey and pads ripped off during a game against the Jets in 2021 ran.

Since then, Brown has made headlines for all the wrong reasons, including multiple arrests and sharing his unfiltered opinions through his unofficial brand called “CTESPN,” which he regularly hashtags on social media.

That game at MetLife Stadium was the last time Brown played in the NFL, but he showed up in Pittsburgh Sunday night to reunite with Steelers fans while making the difference he proclaimed for Trump’s campaign.

Brown, who was joined by his former Steelers teammate Le’Veon Bell on Saturday in Latrobe, took the podium and ripped Harris and Walz.

“Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, did you really know they wanted to put tampons in the boys’ bathroom?” Brown asked the crowd. “This is really crazy, isn’t it?”

Brown was referring to Walz being nicknamed “Tampon Tim” by Republican opponents after he signed a law in Minnesota mandating that tampons be free in public schools starting in 2023.

As Brown continues to express his support for Trump, the Steelers and Acrisure Stadium security teams have tightened protocols and warned fans of delays in entering and exiting the stadium as the former president is scheduled to arrive.

“As former President Trump is expected to attend Sunday night’s game as a guest of a single suite holder, we are working with the Secret Service and local authorities to ensure the safety of all of our fans,” the team said in a statement. “As always, we will work to provide fans the same experience as every Steelers home game at Acrisure Stadium.”
