In June 2016, Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook has paid out over $50 million to social influencers to use Facebook Live. While heavy-hitters like Buzzfeed were paid over $3 million, smaller sums were paid to celebrities and athletes- including Antonio Brown. Esquire’s Luke O’Neil added that Brown may have been paid as much as $224K for his participation.

After the Steelers defeated the Chiefs, Brown went Live on Facebook to celebrate the win with his teammates. While he spent the majority of the video smiling and adjusting his hair, his head coach, Mike Tomlin, was addressing his team regarding their matchup in the AFC Championship
