Antonio Brown has been causing uproar online for some time now. The former wide receiver loves to court controversy, however, he might have gone a step too far this time. The NFL fans are calling him out for racism aimed at Younghoe Koo.
On his X page, Antonio Brown highlights and awards people the ‘N**ga of the Day’ or ‘Cr**ker of the Day’ title depending upon the race. Some fans even nominate themselves for this accolade from Brown.
However, this long-running joke wasn’t much appreciated by a large section of the fans. They lost all their cool when the Atlanta Falcons' kicker was brought into the scene on Monday.
Brown posted a picture of Younghoe Koo after the Korean-born scored a 54-yard goal against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The Falcons ended up losing the game. However, Koo displayed a valiant effort in the hopes of a comeback.

Brown reacted to the performance. However, he did so in a controversial manner. Along with Koo’s picture, Brown used a racial slur for the 30-year-old Falcons man.
“Ch**k of the Day,” Brown posted on X.
The fans were enraged not only at Brown but also at Elon Musk for letting this type of language fly on his platform. However, most of the criticism was reserved for the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver.
“Cis gender is a slur but you allow actual racism. Interesting Elon Musk.”
“So, AB a brain dead racist. Cool.”
“Antonio Brown racist AF,” wrote one fan.
“This somehow feels more racist than your normal tweets,” wrote another fan.
Several fans also used the 36-year-old’s injury and concussion issues to take potshots at Brown.
“One too many concussions,” wrote one fan.
“You really need to get that CTE treated,” wrote another fan.
Terrell Owens clapped back at Antonio Brown
Several NFL stars and celebrities from different walks of life have chosen to ignore the trolling from Antonio Brown. However, NFL legend Terrell Owens took the matter into his own hands after Brown trolled Democratic Party's Presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Brown had called out VP Harris for promising change rather than enacting it while being in the office.
“🤡🤡🤡 You really posted this, says the guy currently out of league for a multitude of issues. I’m having a hard time deciding who’s the worst, YOU or Stephen A. Smith.”
It is unclear why Owens roped in sports media personality Stephen A. Smith in this takedown of Brown on X. However, both Brown and Smith did not respond to Owens.
