Because Antonio Brown dipped into his disgusting social media repertoire to say something — anything — that would possibly draw attention.
Amid a slew of football-related tweets over the weekend, the disgraced former receiver took aim at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
“Travis Kelce needs some black p—y. That bro washed,” Brown wrote on X to his 2.1 million followers Sunday.
The tweet came near the end of Kelce and the Chiefs’ 17-10 victory over the Chargers in which the star tight end had seven catches for 89 yards.
The strong performance came after Kelce dealt with a series of criticisms over his dwindling numbers this season. He had only had eight catches for 69 yards in the Chiefs’ first three games.
Kelce, his teammates and coaches have all said that was due to defenses keying on him and not a drop-off in performance for the 34-year-old.
“I’ve had a lot of catches in this league, man, I’m not worried about the catches and the yards, and all of that, I have the most fun when I get the ball thrown my way, I mean, who doesn’t?” Kelce told his brother Jason on the “New Heights” podcast last week.
“It has everything to do with execution and just making sure we’re doing everything we can to win these football games, that’s always going to be the goal.”
Swift has been a no-show at the Chiefs’ past two games, leading to baseless speculation that the couple could be having trouble.
However, Page Six reported on Monday that Swift’s absences are connected to her preparing for the Eras Tour that is restarting Oct. 18 and security concerns after she was forced to cancel shows in Austria after ISIS had planned terror attacks.
The two-time defending Super Bowl champs are 4-0 and play host to the Saints on “Monday Night Football” in Week 5.
For Brown, it’s just another sad step in becoming even more of a laughingstock in his post-NFL life.
The former Steelers star has dealt with numerous legal troubles and filed for bankruptcy in June, despite earning more than $80 million in his NFL career.
