Former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown seems to be in the middle of an internet feud with Buffalo Bills S Damar Hamlin. The two have been exchanging tweets targeting each other throughout the day. However, it is fair to say Brown started it.
This morning, he made an inappropriate joke at the expense of Hamlin. As you can imagine, Hamlin was not happy about that and fired back at Brown. So, what did Brown have to say in response to that? It is safe to say it set Brown off.

Antonio Brown has posted numerous tweets at the expense of Hamlin ever since he received Hamlin’s response. It started with Brown essentially calling Hamlin a “fictional character” that had a “tragic death.” This resulted in Hamlin calling out Brown and questioning what kind of content he puts out there along with who is putting it out there.
Brown played into that joke. He shared a video of himself taking photos with what appear to be high school kids. Brown joked that he “hired them to shoot the video and didn’t pay them” along with leaning into the joke of those kids being the ones who post Brown’s tweets.Ezoic
So, what else did Brown tweet? He shared an AI image that contained someone that looked like Hamlin along with an urn with Hamlin’s initials on it. On top of this, Brown shared a photoshopped image of holding Hamlin as a baby. Plus, he shared another tweet essentially calling Hamlin a bad football player.
Playing Into NFL Conspiracy Theory

Brown is leaning into a dark conspiracy theory centering around a horrific NFL incident. This involved Damar Hamlin last year when he collapsed on the field. As a result, a select group of fans seem to believe that he died on the field.
That is part of the reason why Brown shared the image above about Hamlin’s urn. However, that is not all.
These people seem to believe that this is a big cover-up. So, who better to involve in this than the president of the United States? To lean into this insanity, Brown also shared a photoshopped image of President Joe Biden kissing Damar Hamlin on the neck. On top of this, he also shared a video of Hamlin in the White House throwing a football around with Biden.
It is safe to say the internet can take things to the next level. Now, Brown appears to be fueling that fire during this feud.
