Ex-NFL star calls White House video using players’ images ‘disgusting and despicable’
Published on March 13, 2026.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety and media personality, Ryan Clark, has called a White House social media post featuring his image and other NFL players "disgusting and despicable". The video, which included NFL highlights and clips from the Hollywood comedy "Tropic Thunder," was created without the permission of the athletes. Clark criticizes the use of these images and claims it represents a casual trivialization of sacrifice. The use of public figures' images for political purposes raises questions about image rights.
