Antonio Brown has never been one to keep quiet and will always speak up against injustice. As he has demonstrated in the past, he most definitely has no problem using racial insults.
This week, a reporter covering the Pittsburgh Steelers brought up his name disparagingly.
There’s growing concern that the “Steelers might have another Antonio Brown on their hands,” according to a report this week from reporter Gerry Dulac. He said
“To some degree, every wide receiver who plays in the NFL is a diva. They want the ball, no matter how many targets and receptions they might get, because they believe they are the playmakers, the game-breakers. There is nothing wrong with that. But it’s the ones who are more vocal and publicly demonstrative about it that get labeled with the scarlet “D.” They become known as coach killers.”
When Brown’s name appeared in the story, he responded with a derogatory racial insult.
Cracker keep my name out y’all mouth none dem sorry niggas like me one

According to Gulac, the Steelers are in a close race with Diontae Johnson and George Pickens to disrupt behavior the most.
In 2019, Brown got into a heated argument with then-General Manager Mike Mayock, using “cuss words” like “cracker” and other offensive language. During the dispute, he allegedly even threatened to strike Mayock in the face.
He may have worn the uniform, but as we all know, he never appeared in a game for the Raiders after forcing his way out of the Steelers via trade.
The seven-time Pro Bowler’s final NFL season as a member of the Tampa Bay Bucs saw him accumulate 545 yards and four touchdowns in just seven games.
