Antonio Brown is facing backlash online after he used a homophobic slur against Duke guard Jared McCain.
Duke was taken 17th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers. AB is seemingly not impressed.
McCain often goes viral for his TikTok videos of himself dancing to viral songs.
AB shared a video and above it he wrote “F-ggot of the Day.”
After seeing the post, fans hopped into the comments to clap back at AB’s slur.

“In my experience straight guys this comfortable with themselves are much less likely to be DL than the dudes making fun of them to seem butch,” one follower wrote.
Another wrote, “You are such an odd man. Good to know what CTE really does to people.”
Brown’s tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended in January 2022 after he pulled off his uniform mid-game and exited the game. He was with the tam for one year. After leaving the NFL, he went on to become the majority owner of the Albany Empire in April of last year.
