Antonio Brown sparks outrage by linking Tom Brady to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer after viral statue reveal
Antonio Brown mocks Tom Brady with Jeffrey Dahmer comparison (Getty Images) Tom Brady's statue unveiling at Gillette Stadium was meant to honor his iconic NFL legacy, but Antonio Brown turned the celebration into controversy. The former wide receiver shocked fans by comparing Brady's look to notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, igniting a storm of reactions across the sports world. Antonio Brown mocks Tom Brady with Jeffrey Dahmer comparison Tom Brady's statue unveiling outside Gillette Stadium on Friday was meant to be a celebration of his legendary career. The New England Patriots immortalized their seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback with a bronze monument, drawing thousands of fans and former teammates. But Antonio Brown, never one to shy away from controversy, used the moment to take a jab at his former teammate. On Sunday, Brown posted a side-by-side image of Brady and infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, noting similarities in their hairstyle and square-framed glasses. The post quickly sparked reaction online, with some finding it humorous and others calling it distasteful. Tom Brady shares heartfelt words and playful jab at Jets during speech During the ceremony, Brady downplayed the idea that the Patriots' dynasty was built on just one man: "I know what this statue represents. It's not about one guy; it never is and never has been, and in football, it never will be. It's about a team and commitment to being great together." In classic Brady fashion, he also couldn't resist a dig at his longtime AFC East rivals, the New York Jets — a team he dominated with a combined 8-31 record against him in the regular season and playoffs: "It will also give Jets fans something to throw their beer at as they leave the stadium – probably in the second quarter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo Maybe the third." Rumors swirl over Tom Brady's influence with Las Vegas Raiders roster While no longer on the field, Brady has remained close to the game as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Although he has denied having a major say in roster moves, NFL analyst Skip Bayless recently suggested Brady wasn't in favor of drafting Shedeur Sanders, son of Deion Sanders. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer also reported that Brady flew privately to Las Vegas to discuss quarterback options, wanting to avoid the perception of 'lording over everything. ' Reports claim Brady influenced decisions such as passing on Sam Darnold in free agency and holding out for Cam Miller, ultimately drafted in the sixth round.

Hacked Elmo X account called for extermination of Jews: US media
WASHINGTON - The X account of Sesame Street's Elmo, a beloved children's TV character, shared antisemitic and anti-Donald Trump posts after being hacked, US media reported Monday. A slew of messages calling for the extermination of Jewish people and labeling the US president a "puppet" of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were shared on the account, according to the reports. Around 650,000 users follow Elmo, the fuzzy red monster who teaches his young audience about kindness and patience. Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, said that an unidentified hacker was behind the posts, which were published on Sunday afternoon before being removed. "Elmo's X account was compromised today by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts," it said in a statement carried by the New York Times. The hacking on Elon Musk's X platform is the latest in a string of hate speech incidents since the billionaire bought then-Twitter in 2022 and axed moderation policies that he considers censorship. On Saturday, his xAI startup apologized for antisemitic posts published on X by its artificial intelligence assistant Grok, which praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Antisemitism in particular is facing scrutiny in the United States after two Israeli embassy staffers were killed outside a Jewish museum in Washington in May. Meanwhile, a firebombing attack at a protest in Colorado supporting Israeli hostages held in Gaza left over a dozen people wounded in June, and an 82-year-old woman later died from her injuries.

Salvadoran Journalist Detained by US Immigration Agents
A Salvadoran journalist who was arrested by local police while covering anti-Donald Trump protests in Atlanta has been held by immigration officers, a media advocacy group has said. Mario Guevara, who has a significant following for his online videos of immigration raids, was detained for obstructing officers and "improperly entering a roadway" by local police during a weekend "No Kings" rally. He was ordered released without bail by a judge Monday until Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers flagged him for detention, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said. Such a request often precedes deportation proceedings. "We are alarmed to learn that reporter Mario Guevara -- who has work authorization in the United States -- was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention after being arrested... while covering a protest," the CPJ said in a statement. "Guevara must be released without delay. His ongoing detention signals a frightening erosion of press freedom in the US." The organization said in a letter to the DeKalb County chief executive that "it is chilling to think that the misdemeanor charges against Guevara could trigger his deportation" -- despite him having US work authorization and a path to residency through his son. Guevara was a subject of a 2019 New York Times mini-documentary, in which he said he was attacked and threatened while working as a reporter in El Salvador, leading to his application for asylum in the US where he has been living since 2004. In recent weeks, agents have stepped up arrests of migrants nationwide. Since his return to power in January, Trump has sought to intensify the targeting and removal of undocumented people. Authorities have overturned previous guidelines that prevented enforcement at sensitive locations, including courthouses, schools, clinics and churches. Protests have mounted against Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown. According to organizers of nationwide marches, as many as five million demonstrators turned out over the weekend in opposition to the billionaire Republican. The Freedom of the Press Foundation said "there is absolutely no reason to deport a longtime journalist who is authorized to work in the United States. The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office should not have released Mario Guevara to ICE."
