'Jason Kelce getting naked for r**arded kids': Antonio Brown sparks outrage with offensive tweet
Jason Kelce at Charity fundraiser event On June 26, Jason Kelce appeared at the Eagles Autism Foundation event, an annual initiative by the Philadelphia Eagles aimed at raising money and awareness for autism research and services. Known for his charisma and unwavering community presence, Kelce showed up shirtless, wearing a rainbow 'Eagles Autism Foundation' cap, and interacted with fans in classic Kelce fashion, lively, silly, and full of heart. Clips of the event were shared widely, with many praising the former Eagles center for continuing to advocate for inclusivity and neurodiverse communities even after retirement but Antonio Brown had something else to say. Antonio Brown's tweet turns a charitable moment into controversy Not long after the video was posted, Antonio Brown, retweeted the clip with a disturbing caption. In it, Brown used a slur widely recognized as ableist and offensive, taking a jab at Kelce's appearance at the autism event and suggesting he was the one being treated unfairly. — AB84 (@AB84) Without quoting the tweet directly (to avoid further amplification of harmful language), Brown's post implied hypocrisy in how the public reacts to his own controversies compared to Kelce's light-hearted gesture. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search ads Learn More Undo But his use of outdated and harmful terminology shifted the conversation entirely, toward the insensitivity of his words. Why Brown's words are deeply inappropriate especially in this context The term Brown used in his tweet is no longer socially acceptable and hasn't been for a long time. Once commonly used in clinical language, it is now understood as a deeply harmful slur when used colloquially, especially in contexts that involve individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. To use that term while commenting on an autism awareness event not only disrespects the organizers and participants, it disrespects the broader community the event was built to support. That's what makes Brown's tweet especially problematic. Kelce's actions reflect years of advocacy and public goodwill While Antonio Brown's post sparked backlash, Jason Kelce's role at the Eagles Autism Foundation event was just one of many examples of his long-running commitment to service. Throughout his career, Kelce has supported numerous Philadelphia-based causes and has been celebrated for his leadership both on and off the field. This event, in particular, is one he has championed for years, helping raise millions for autism-related initiatives through appearances, auctions, and community outreach. What should've remained a wholesome, community-first moment was clouded by a tweet that didn't need to be made. Jason Kelce showed up for a cause that matters. Antonio Brown showed up online, again, with language that harms more than it helps. And in doing so, he reminded everyone that words, even a single post can either lift a community up or bring the focus down to negativity that never belonged there in the first place.

His initial remarks were truly disgraceful. Advertisement "Jason Kelce getting naked for [expletive] kids but I'm the crazy one," Brown wrote on social media. This post from Brown immediately went viral on social media. Countless fans lectured him for using insensitive language. Brown is no stranger to making headlines for the wrong reasons. It was reported two weeks ago that he's facing a charge of attempted murder with a firearm. "I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," Brown wrote on X. "Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me."

Judging by his latest social media post, he hasn't changed one bit.
