And the saga of Antonio Brown getting blocked because of his offensive memes continues. First, it was Joe Biden, then Tom Brady, and now it’s Caitlin Clark, who could not take any more of Brown’s mean memes, blocking him on social media altogether. Getting drafted as the No. 1 overall in the WNBA draft to Indiana Fever marked a fresh commencement for Clark. One that she wasn’t about to ruin because of AB’s memes.
Speaking of Antonio Brown’s memes, they have hardly spared anyone. From Supermodel Gisele Bundchen to the GOAT Tom Brady, even President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump were not spared from the vexing memes from AB. Per Marca, Brown has a history of trolling people online and has a “Cracker of the Day” theme, where he criticizes someone daily. Clark became the next unfortunate one to become his next target.

Being the top WNBA draft player, Clark was not about to deal with any abuse Brown threw her way. Clark was quick to issue a public statement of online harassment, claiming, “I’ve had enough of the constant abuse from Antonio Brown. It’s time to put an end to this behavior and take a stand against online harassment.”
The result was that Clark blocked AB on social media. The incident has brought to light the importance of combating online harassment. An influential personality like Clark speaking up epitomizes her behavior of not tolerating online harassment for her fans. It also supported Clark across all social media as fans joined hands to tear down Brown’s ego through their ruthless words.
