Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown was up to his old tricks on Friday, making another controversial remark presumably for attention.
Antonio Brown is no stranger to making crude comments on his X/Twitter account. Earlier this week, he received immense backlash for stating that Phoenix Mercury star and WNBA legend Brittney Griner is a man in response to a post that she’s expecting her first child with wife Cherelle.
The former Pro Bowler was at it again on Thursday evening. Responding to an article about how the WNBA is projected to lose $50 million this year, Brown stated “Nobody actually watches it” and that it’s not a pro sport. Brown also called it “a charity for lesbians”:
This why I’ve found all the WNBA talk to be hilarious. Nobody actually watches it. So when you’re arguing about it, you’re not really arguing about a professional sport. It’s more of just a charity for lesbians. #CTESPN https://t.co/yoM3y0ij9d

Antonio Brown obviously didn’t do his homework on the ratings and attendance figures. On Monday, the WNBA announced that the month of May marked the “highest attended opening month in 26 years and its most-watched start of season across each network ever.”
In the press release, the league announced that WNBA arenas have been filled up by 17 percent this year (94 percent, to be exact). On ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, WNBA and CBS, the league is enjoying an average of 1.32 million viewers per game.
Meanwhile, you can expect more outrageous tweets from Brown as he tries to continue stirring the pot on social media. With his NFL career over, there obviously isn’t much more he wants to do in his spare time.
Antonio Brown’s Behavior Overshadows His NFL Career
Since his departure from the Pittsburgh Steelers five years ago, the former All-Pro wide receiver has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Brown’s behavior and legal issues prompted four different teams (the Steelers, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers) to cut ties with him in a span of three years.
Brown may have the resume of a Hall of Famer, but it’s hard to envision him getting in considering all of the disturbing legal issues that have overshadowed his playing career. Those issues include numerous arrests for failed child support payments and bankruptcy, which he officially filed for last month.
