Former NFL star Antonio Brown has defended Kanye West after the rap mogul’s string of anti-Semitic comments, calling the public response to the musician’s comments “reactionary and selective.”

West tweeted on Oct. 9 that he would go “death con 3” for “JEWISH PEOPLE” and went on to claim that Jews “control the media” in an interview released Monday, cutting stars Aaron Donald and Jaylen Brown ties to his Donda Sports Agency disconnected.

But Brown said Tuesday night that he would not leave Donda Sports, of which he has been president since his release from the Buccaneers.

“Over the past few weeks, the world’s reactionary and selective outrage at my brother, Ye’s media comments, has sparked unbridled conversation and reflection,” Brown said.

None of us in this world are free from judgment, but we live in a time when critical scrutiny and pessimism have driven our dialogues on cultural issues into diatribes.

Sensationalism and groupthink have forced people not to speak their mind and to act out of fear rather than love. For these reasons, I stand by my commitment to freedom of expression, thought and opinion.

ANTONIO BROWN’S FULL STATEMENT

“Over the past few weeks, the world’s reactionary and selective outcry over comments in the media from my brother, Ye, has sparked unbridled conversation and reflection. I have also been able to reflect on statements that I and others in my circle have made that are unclear about my position. The people and brands that have relentlessly taken advantage of black ideas and black culture chose to distance themselves at a very specific moment: a time that showed they were prioritizing certain groups over others,” Brown said.

None of us in this world is free from judgment, but we live in a time when critical scrutiny and pessimism have driven our dialogues on cultural issues into diatribes. Sensationalism and groupthink have forced people to refrain from speaking up and act in fear instead of love. For these reasons, I stand by my commitment to freedom of expression, thought and opinion. I try to actively live together in places where I can have a difference of opinion, because it is the diversity of thought that propels humanity forward. Let me be clear, any form of discrimination is an injustice to all people, and that is exactly why I want to make this statement.

As chairman of Donda Sports, I will remain.

I remain true to the mission of Donda and our wonderful employees and community.

I remain committed to helping clarify statements that have been disproportionate by the media.

I remain committed to bringing new ideas, experiences and designs to our world.

I continue to support the humanity that is Ye.
