Disgraced NFL legend Antonio Brown blasted by fans for vulgar Jason Kelce post
Controversial ex-NFL star Antonio Brown has sparked outrage once again after sharing a vile message about Jason Kelce 's work for an autism charity.
Brown, who is currently wanted by police on an attempted murder charge after wielding a gun in a shocking brawl last month, has become notorious for his offensive social media antics since his NFL career came to an end in 2022.
And this week the Super Bowl-winning wide receiver has caused more contention by mocking Kelce about 'getting naked' to raise money for 'retarded kids'.
The Philadelphia Eagles legend was spotted at an Autism Foundation Event for his former team this week, where he went viral for turning up in a rainbow-themed hat, a crop top and speedos with the colors of the American flag.
Brown has received a backlash after quoting a picture of his outfit and writing: 'jason kelce getting naked for retarded kids but i'm the crazy one…'
One user replied to the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers player: 'chill out with that'.
Brown has become notorious for his offensive and insulting social media posts in recent years
'AB you can f**k right off,' said another before adding, 'the words retarded shouldn't be used here'.
While another commented: 'Kelce's a legend, no need to hate'.
At the start of 2024, Kelce's younger brother Travis described Brown as one of his 'favorite follows' on Twitter (now X) despite the controversy he frequently whips up.
After being referred to as one of his 'dopest crackers', Travis said on his and Jason's New Heights podcast: 'I appreciate you AB, man. Feels good to be one of the dopest crackers,' Travis replied, while laughing. 'I love that s***. He's one of my favorite follows on twitter, you've got to follow him.'
Miami-Dade County police are looking to arrest Brown on an attempted murder charge as a result of a shooting at a boxing event last month in Florida.
The Florida warrant was signed by a judge earlier this month and requires the former football star to post $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest pending a trial, according to court files provided to Daily Mail.
The Washington Post was first to report the existence of the warrant for attempted second-degree murder, which carries a penalty of up to 15 years behind bars in Florida.
As seen in shocking viral video from a celebrity boxing event in Miami last month, Brown appeared to pull out a gun as he ran back towards a skirmish. Shots are then heard off camera as frightened onlookers flee the area.
The 36-year-old was dragged to the floor by a man who, it later emerged, was a member of security trying to protect him.
No victims emerged at the time, so Brown wasn't arrested. Instead when viral video of the incident surfaced online, Brown claimed he was the victim of an attempted robbery: 'Regarding the boxing event that happened last night. I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me.'
However, the other combatant told Daily Mail a different story last month. That man, Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu, instead claimed the troubled former NFL star instigated the violent incident and personally fired the shots, possibly in response to a legal battle between the two in federal bankruptcy court.

Iconic band set to hit Glastonbury in surprise set dropped major hint weeks ago
Haim are set to perform a secret set at Glastonbury Festival later today, the Mirror can reveal - but the band dropped hints to fans weeks ago Haim are set to perform a secret set at Glastonbury Festival later today - but actually revealed the news fans weeks ago. The American rock band, made up of sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim, last performed at Glastonbury in 2022 on the Pyramid Stage. But the girls will be performing on The Park stage this evening at 7.30pm, under the TBA slot – their favourite stage. Speaking to BBC Radio presenter Jo Whiley two weeks ago, Haim teased their fans about the not so secret slot. "We love The Park Stage," Alana said. "The Park Stage is our favourite, 'cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie." She went on to add: "It was like, 'What is going on? How did we get here?' And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. And it's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have. But it was incredible, it's the best festival in the world." Royal songstress Lorde graced the Woodsies stage on Friday morning, with a secret set being played to a crowd which was so packed festival bosses had to close off the area. A source told the Mirror: "It's sweltering inside the tent given the amount of people crammed inside. Bosses are urging people to stand up off the floor to make room. Some people are leaving as it's so intense." However, as the crowd spilled outside the tent, the source added: "Bosses have now shut down Woodsies as crowds are so big with a festival-wide message saying: 'Woodies is now full'." Lewis Capaldi also made a surprise appearance at Glastonbury on Friday - two years after he last performed at the festival. Back then the 28-year-old struggled to finish his set. His voice faltered as he told the crowd: "Glastonbury, I'm really sorry. I'm a bit annoyed with myself." The crowd soon took over the vocals of his hit Someone You Loved. Announcing he was taking a break from music to focus on his health, Lewis - who suffers from Tourette's and anxiety - told fans: "I feel like I'll be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks. So you probably won't see much of me for the rest of the year, maybe even. But when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you're still up for watching us." In an emotional comeback performance, Lewis cried as he began to sing his new song Survive, which he released yesterday. He said his one goal was to get back on stage at Glastonbury as he paid tribute to the fans. Other big acts who are rumoured to be performing at Glastonbury are 90s rock band Pulp, who have just completed the UK leg of their latest tour. Frontman Jarvis Cocker has already performed a sneaky DJ set from inside a tree in the Greenpeace Field. But there are rumours the whole band could make an appearance as the mystery act billed only as Patchwork, who are due to hit the stage Saturday at 6:15pm. A source shared an exclusive photograph of the boxes – one of which is labelled with the band name Pulp. The source told us: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set." Robbie Williams has also been dropping hints he could play three decades after he first crashed the festival as a newly-solo star. At first, fans got excited when he changed his Facebook photo to a 1995 backstage snap, but with tour dates abroad, people assumed it was off the cards. Though he has since posted two photos on X captioned simply '30 years later…' One showed a plaque reading: 'Robbie Williams entered this area without accreditation, authorisation, or alignment with prevailing taste. His presence was uninvited, unofficial and ultimately inevitable.' The second was the iconic 'Welcome to Glastonbury' sign. Good Luck, Babe! singer Chappell Roan also sparked a frenzy of speculation she could be performing a secret set. Posting a snap clutching a patchwork quilt with the caption 'insane vibe" fans wondered if she was teasing she was the Patchwork act. Fans only have a few hours to wait until all is revealed - and if you weren't lucky enough to get a ticket to this year's Glastonbury Festival you can still tune into all the coverage on BBC iPlayer.

More info The granddaughter of an Edinburgh film star celebrated Scottish cup glory with her Aberdeen star boyfriend, Dante Polvara. The midfielder was a hero at Hampden as Aberdeen Football Club pulled off a shock Scottish cup victory over Scotland, and by his side was none other than Natasha Connery, granddaughter of Sir Sean Connery- the original James Bond. During the match he was brought off the bench and scored a penalty in the shootout as Aberdeen FC won 4-3, reports The Daily Record. Off the pitch, the 25-year-old American who signed for Pittodrie straight from New York City FC's youth sides, has been dating Natasha since last summer. She is the daughter of Sir Sean Connery's stepson, making her a true Bond legacy. Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox The first actor to bring 007 to life on the big screen, starring in classics like Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever, Sir Sean Connery also bagged an Oscar for The Untouchables and was knighted in 2000 for his contribution to film. Adding another twist, former Rangers chairman Sir David Murray revealed that Connery secretly invested £1million into the club. Murray wrote in his book Mettle: "For years, Sean and I would share a catch-up call every weekend to chat through the football and we would inevitably kick off with Rangers. "After all, he had put £1million into the club which no one knew about at the time or even since. "I was raising £50million in 2004 and Sean asked if he could invest. "I told him that it was football, that there were no guarantees and he should get professional advice but he was adamant - he wanted in."
