Former Pittsburgh Steeler Antonio Brown was back outside Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, helping Donald Trump’s presidential campaign by registering the team’s fans to vote.
Brown received help from another former Steeler, Le’Veon Bell, to register voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania ahead of the 2024 presidential election, which will take place on November 5.
Brown has been an avid Trump supporter for years, and his rhetoric has grown increasingly louder in recent weeks.
Like Elon Musk, Danica Patrick and others, Brown has been trying to convince American citizens to vote for Trump, while criticizing his opponent, Kamala Harris.
Brown spoke at a Trump rally Saturday in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, as part of the former president’s tour of the state.

Brown has supported Donald Trump for several years, dating back to his days in the NFL.
Trump is at tonight’s Steelers game against the New York Jets, and Brown gave him a strange wave as he exited his private jet on the tarmac.
Pennsylvania was a state that Trump won in 2016 over Hilary Clinton, but lost in 2020 to Joe Biden.
Both Harris and Trump see winning Pennsylvania as crucial to their efforts to become the next president of the United States.
Trump’s visit to watch Steelers-Jets coincides with Davante Adams’ debut with New York and Russell Wilson’s first regular-season game in Pittsburgh.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump spoke at a rally with former ESPN host Sage Steele as moderator.
Brown has not played in the NFL since 2021 and was last with the Steeler in 2018, where he spent the first nine seasons of his professional career.
Meanwhile, New York came into the game on a three-game losing streak with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.
Fans could be heard serenading the former president with chants of ‘USA’ in his private suite.

It remains to be seen if Trump crosses paths again with Rodgers, who could have been his political rival after almost becoming Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate for the election earlier this year.
Businesswoman Nicole Shanahan eventually got the job, but the Jets star said, “I love Bobby.” We had a couple of really nice conversations.’
Rodgers has developed a close relationship with Kennedy Jr. in recent years, and both men are notably skeptical of vaccines.
He previously bumped into Trump, shaking his hand at a UFC event earlier this year, after fans initially claimed the former president had snubbed him.
The Steelers sent a message to their fans ahead of Trump’s visit for their Sunday Night Football game against the Jets.
As the team coordinated with officials to prepare for safety ahead of the contest, the team updated fans on logistical plans for the game.
“With former President Trump expected to attend Sunday night’s game as the guest of an individual suite holder, we are working with the Secret Service and local authorities to ensure the safety of all of our fans,” the statement read. equipment.
‘As always, we will work to make the fan experience the same as it always is at every Steelers home game at Acrisure Stadium.
“We encourage fans to arrive early to the parking lots and gates so they can enjoy our pregame experience and our game-long celebrations that will honor our team’s 50th anniversary from Super Bowl IX.”
