After Elon Musk attended the Cowboys vs Steelers game in week 5, it seems like another celebrity is slated to join this week’s game action in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Reports are coming out that former US President Donald Trump will be at Acrisure Stadium to watch the Steelers game this Sunday. After holding a massive rally in Butker, Pennsylvania, last week, where Musk was also present, Trump could follow in his footsteps to catch this week’s clash against the Jets.

Even former Steelers WR Antonio Brown, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump during this campaign, teased us about a possible meeting with the Republican candidate in Pittsburgh. Taking on his X, which has served as his voice since hanging up his cleats this year, Brown posted, “Trump x AB” with a black and white handshake emote.

However, this is not the first time the former Steelers WR has shown his excitement supporting Trump in this year’s election. Going a few days back, Brown posted, “I went Bankrupt wit Biden/Harris. I won Super Bowl wit Trump. My story resemble so many others. Striving with Trump. Broke wit Biden/Harris.” #CTESPN. But there could be some contradiction in Antonio’s claim that he technically won the Super Bowl under the Biden administration.

Trump had already conceded the election in 2020 when he lost to Biden. So Brown’s Lombardi title he won with the Buccaneers was in February 2021, having defeated the Chiefs that season. However, Brown was quick to speak in his defense, as he pointed out that championships aren’t won overnight. Instead, it happens throughout the year, thereby putting us in his point of view. Although there could be some truth in his words, it’s still factually incorrect.

Next up is his bankruptcy, for which he apparently blamed the Biden administration. But on looking back, it was his mismanagement of finances that made him go broke.

Antonio Brown filed for bankruptcy briefly after retiring

Well-known for social media antics with #CTESPN. Brown can often be found targeting other NFL players and their WAGs in his X posts. Rightfully so, this time, it was the turn of creditors who came after the former Steelers WR because he owed $3 million to at least eight of them. Breaking us the news, the 36-year-old posted, “NFL legend Antonio Brown has filed for bankruptcy today. He will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2027. He will be releasing new music this summer, He is also the founder of the most trusted source in all of sports. The generational run continues.”

After announcing his bankruptcy in classic Brown fashion, he followed in up with another post. “I’m Broke Baby” with a Cash App QR code present, indicating his plea for financial help (jokingly). It was a Chapter 11 bankruptcy Brown filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida.

As per the paperwork, Brown owes a truck driver named Anton Tumanov $1.2 million for a—— and b——, case stemming back to 2020. Elsewhere, the former Bucs WR also owes Avanti Solutions $28,589 for not paying them back after they provided production management gadgets and transported stage art for his brief appearance at a hip-hop concert in 2022.

The most shocking out of all remains his $296 credit card due to a plumber in South Florida. Damn! a former NFL player not paying a plumber is something no one can predict in their wildest dreams. But it’s Brown we are talking about here. For him, anything is possible as he continues to gaze attention from his social media activities on X.
