Antonio Brown mocks WNBA as Caitlin Clark gets ruled out of 2025 season

Antonio Brown's NFL career is tiny in the rear-view mirror, but that hasn't stopped the former Pittsburgh Steelers star from tuning out of sports entirely. The wide receiver is apparently keeping up with the WNBA, based on his recent comments on one of the league's biggest stars, Caitlin Clark.

The Indiana Fever guard was ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury, and Brown believes this would change worldwide interest in the sport.

"WNBA views declining faster than Dave Blunts health…" he tweeted on Thursday.

Clark has suffered multiple groin injuries and has been out of action since July 15. However, missing the rest of the season isn't quite as disastrous as it sounds based on where the league is in its schedule.

The Indiana Fever's regular season concludes on Sept. 9. The Fever are third in the Eastern Conference with a 21-20 record.

With sports like the NFL and NBA starting up, the WNBA will face added competition for viewership, beyond simply trying to sell prospective viewers on watching Clark shoot baskets.

Brown's comment on Clark wasn't his only recent mention of what's going on in the sports world. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver mocked Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb on Thursday. Brown joked that Lamb couldn't catch a pass in the game's biggest moments, posting an image of someone without any hands.

"CeeDee Lamb in crunch time…" he wrote.

Lamb had seven catches for 110 yards in Dallas' season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but had multiple drops late on that could have put the Cowboys in a winning position.

Brown took another apparent shot at Lamb, posting a picture of a supposed member of the Cowboys wearing CeeDee Lamb's number (88).

The post didn't come with any added context, but Antonio Brown appeared to believe that the picture spoke for itself. Either way, it's clear that Brown isn't impressed with what he saw out of Lamb. The question is whether the Cowboys receiver will respond.
