Caitlin Clark BLOCKS Antonio Brown on social media after former NFL player makes vulgar claim about WNBA star… in latest viral episode involving college basketball trailblazer
Former NFL All-Pro wide receiver and current internet provocateur Antonio Brown has been blocked by WNBA top-pick Caitlin Clark for a crude comment he made about her on social media.
Brown appeared to try and crack multiple jokes at Clark’s expense, but they only led to her blocking the former wide receiver on Twitter.
The receiver didn’t let up, calling her his ‘Cracker of the Day’ while calling her ‘Cousin It’ – a nod to an Addams Family character.
It’s not the first time that Brown’s antics have led to people blocking him – with his former quarterback Tom Brady and President Joe Biden restricting the ex-Pittsburgh Steeler from their timelines.
Clark has been at the center of a media frenzy this week after she was picked first-overall by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA Draft on Monday night.

Clark has had to deal with plenty of weird comments after this week’s WNBA Draft – including during her introductory press conference on Wednesday afternoon
But there’s been positives this week too – with Clark signing a massive deal with Nike
After stepping out in her Prada outfit and getting picked, she’s been the subject of praise, endorsements, and one reporter’s creepy and controversial admiration.
Gregg Doyel of the Indianapolis Star apologized after suggesting he and Clark would ‘get along just fine’ if she shot him a celebratory heart gesture during games.
‘Today in my uniquely oafish way, while welcoming @CaitlinClark22 to Indy, I formed my hands into her signature [hand heart emoji,’ Doyel posted to Twitter on Wednesday.
‘My comment afterward was clumsy and awkward. I sincerely apologize. Please know my heart (literally and figuratively) was well-intentioned. I will do better.’
But it hasn’t been all creepy comments from men that have gotten Clark attention – there’s been plenty of positive media as well.
That includes the revelation that she’s set to sign an eight-figure deal with Nike that will land her a signature shoe.
Clark will be the third active WNBA player with their own signature shoe, joining Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty.
President Joe Biden even spoke highly of Clark, and added that the $76,535 salary she’ll earn in her first year in the league is an example of how ‘women are not paid their fair share.’
