Former Pittsburgh Steelers star Le’Veon Bell has come under fire for wearing a T-shirt with a mean message about Kamala Harris over the weekend.
Bell, who spent the first six years of his NFL career with the Steelers, joined former teammate Antonio Brown at a Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday as the duo stepped up their support for the Republican leader.
But as he prepared to go to the rally, the 32-year-old left-wing fans shocked by sharing a photo of his pro-Trump shirt, which featured a vulgar comment against Harris.
The top featured a photo of Donald raising his fist in the air, next to an unflattering photo of Kamala with the message: “Trump or the Tramp?”
Several users took to social media to call out Bell, accusing him of sexism and misogyny after the offensive slur about Harris.

One replied to the former who returned to X: “Only insecure, cowardly men feel the need to discredit women with slander. You’re disgusting and look like a clown.’
Another asked, “Why can’t you support your candidate without being disrespectful to the black woman running against him?”
“To label a highly educated, successful black woman a ‘tramp’ is reprehensible. The rest of us are just as ashamed as your mother,” a third wrote.
A fourth said: “Misogyny is alive and well in the @NFL. I think they’re okay with this.”
‘Such an ignorant post, just for attention…’ said another.
While people simply asked: ‘Did your mother see this?’
Bell, who has turned to boxing since leaving the NFL in 2022, arrived at a Trump rally with Brown on Saturday before his close friend addressed the crowd in Pennsylvania.
“Before I get too deep into my speech, I know the media is going to think I’m crazy,” the controversial former recipient said. “Trump and I are crazy to be speaking here.

“But I want to make this clear… that’s not the case. They are.’
Brown then targeted Democratic candidates Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, even calling the latter “tampon Tim.”
“Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, y’all really know they want to put tampons in the boys’ bathroom,” he added. ‘Is that crazy? That’s really crazy.
“And by the way, tampon Tim Walz, he’s not a real football coach. He could never guard me.”
Brown and Bell greeted Trump on the tarmac as he landed in Pittsburgh for Sunday night’s game between the Steelers and the New York Jets, after helping register new voters outside Acrisure Stadium before kickoff.
The Republican leader was serenaded by fans with chants of “USA” after arriving at the stadium before watching Pittsburgh pull off a strong 37-15 victory.
Trump, waving through the window of his private suite, even appeared to join in as the home crowd began chanting in the hundreds.
