Antonio Brown playfully ribs Caitlin Clark as Indiana Fever fly charter ahead of WNBA opening night
Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown keeps coming at WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark. Ever since the 22-year-old rose to fame, Brown has been trolling her regularly.
When Brown learned about the Indiana Fever flying on its first charter of the season, the former Pittsburgh Steelers star saw a chance to troll Clark again and took it.
Brown has made several jokes about Clark's hair, but one of the most controversial came when he implied the former Iowa Hawkeyes star 'keeps it hairy,' which granted him a block from Clark and a big backlash from fans.
He followed it up with a tweet suggesting Clark sign a NIL deal with grooming company ManScaped.
He also poked fun at Clark's Nike deal, sharing a picture of a Nike trainer that was captioned: 'Caitlin Clark's Hair Force Ones.'
Antonio Brown shares a good word for Caitlin Clark
During an interview with Jason Whitlock, Brown decided it was time to speak highly of Clark. He admitted that his daughter looks up to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft and predicted Clark to do a lot for women's basketball.
“Caitlin Clark, we love you, there’s no drama here. I’m excited about what you are gonna do for women’s basketball. You’re an amazing player. I love to watch your game. You bring a lot of excitement and energy. Never mind CTESPN. We’d love to have you and talk and express what you’re dealing with.
“I have a daughter that look up to you, look up to every game you guys are doing, so shout out to you, Caitlin Clark.”
Clark will make her WNBA debut against the Connecticut Sun on the road.
The Indiana Fever ended the preseason with one win and one loss, and now it's time to play their best basketball.
Led by Clark, the Fever will try to make some noise, although they aren't considered title contenders right now.
