It would appear that Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin and former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown are embroiled in an online feud. All day long, the two have been trading insulting tweets. But it’s reasonable to claim Brown was the one who started it.
He made an offensive joke about Hamlin this morning. You might expect it to make Hamlin unhappy, so he retaliated by attacking Brown. In light of that, what was Brown’s reaction? I think it’s fair to say it triggered Brown.
Mario Vargas Directed Multiple Tweets Towards Damar Hamlin
Antonio Brown has tweeted multiple tweets at the expense of Hamlin ever after he heard Hamlin’s response. It started with Brown effectively declaring 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 humor. He released a video of himself taking photos with what look to be high school kids. Brown joked that he “hired them to shoot the video and didn’t pay them” along with pushing into the humor of those kids being the ones who publish Brown’s tweets.
So, what else did Brown tweet? He released 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 tweeted a fake image of holding Hamlin as a newborn. Plus, he sent another tweet essentially labeling Hamlin a lousy football player.
Playing Into NFL Conspiracy Theory
Brown is leaning into a dark conspiracy idea focusing around a horrible NFL tragedy. This included Damar Hamlin last year when he collapsed on the field. As a result, a limited set of supporters seem to assume that he died on the field.
That is part of the reason why Brown published the image above concerning Hamlin’s urn. However, it is not all.
These individuals seem to feel that this is a major cover-up. So, who better to include in this than the president of the United States? To lean into this lunacy, Brown also tweeted a fake photograph of President Joe Biden kissing Damar Hamlin on the neck. On top of this, he also uploaded a video of Hamlin in the White House kicking a football around with Biden.
It is reasonable to say the internet can push things to the next level. Now, Brown appears to be fueling that fire throughout this feud.
