Antonio Brown targeted Caitlin Clark with another crass remark as he addressed his feud with the WNBA star during an interview with Jason Whitlock.
The former NFL player, who has targeted Tom Brady with provocative posts in the past, caused outrage and offense las month by saying Clark ‘looks like she keeps it hairy’.
Brown continued his attack on the No. 1 draft pick with a series of insults on social media, including a crass meme referring to Clark’s boyfriend, which led to the 22-year-old blocking him on social media.
However, the former wide receiver initially appeared to show remorse for his attacks when Whitlock asked him to address Clark during a sit-down interview on the sports columnist’s podcast.
Brown began by praising Clark for her impact on women’s sports before ruining the moment with another taunt.

Ex-NFL player Brown appears to relish attempting to provoke stars on social media
‘Caitlin Clark, we love you,’ Brown began. ‘There’s no drama here. I’m excited about what you’re going to do for women’s basketball. You’re an amazing player. I love to watch your game, You bring a lot of excitement and energy.
‘CTESPN would love to have you talks, especially [about] what you deal with, your traumas, your adversities, how you continue to be great.
‘People like me in the media bringing awareness to you, whether in the wrong or the right, it’s all in positivity, it’s all in fun and games.
‘Continue to be great continue to be focused on being the best athlete you want to be. Continue to lead women’s sports and pioneering it the way you want to pioneer it. I have a daughter, I look up to you, I look up to everything you guys are doing.
‘So shout out to you Caitlin Clark… and if it’s hairy don’t worry about it.’
Whitlock could only let out an exasperated sigh and shake his head at Brown’s final remark, which was a reference to his tweet about Clark that caused backlash.
The internet provocateur sparked outrage last month with a series of offensive tweets about Clark’s appearance.
The WNBA top-pick quickly blocked Brown for his antics, with his tweet about how Clark ‘looks like she keep it hairy’ causing particular offense.
But the receiver didn’t let up, also calling her his ‘Cracker of the Day’ and ‘Cousin It’ – a nod to an Addams Family character.
It’s far from the first time that Brown has been blocked for unpleasant remarks – with legendary quarterback Tom Brady and President Joe Biden restricting the ex-Pittsburgh Steeler from their timelines.
