Brown has not appeared in an NFL game since 2021, when he was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A shirtless Brown famously jogged to the stadium tunnel in the third quarter of a game against the New York Jets.
Another high-profile sports figure, four-time NBA champion coach and USA Basketball head coach Steve Kerr, also weighed in on what transpired at the political event. Kerr described the shooting as a "demoralizing day for our country."
"It's such a demoralizing day for our country, and it's yet another example of not only our political division but also gun culture," Kerr said. "A 20-year-old with an AR-15 trying to shoot the former president. It's hard to process everything, and it's scary to think about where this goes because of the issues that already exist in the country. So, this is a terrible day."
Kerr’s father, Malcolm, was assassinated while in Beirut in 1984. He has previously advocated for gun control.
"This is a time where we feel very proud to represent our country wearing USA on our chest, competing in the Olympics," Kerr said, per ESPN. "We've talked to the players about how important it is to show the best version of us as human beings to represent our country in a respectful, dignified manner. It makes you want to do that even more so, because this is really shameful for us to sit here and think about what happened and what's going on in our country."
Kerr and the U.S. men's national team are in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, as they continue preparations for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
