In his post-NFL days, Antonio Brown appears deeply immersed in the online realm, where he continues to be unreserved in expressing his opinions, especially when his name is brought up negatively.
Known for his outspoken nature, Brown has not shied away from using racial slurs in the past. Recently, a Pittsburgh Steelers reporter, Gerry Dulac, raised concerns about another player potentially becoming a disruptive force akin to Antonio Brown.

Dulac’s article delved into the commonality of wide receivers in the NFL possessing a certain diva mentality, seeking the ball and viewing themselves as playmakers. However, it is those who express their desires more vocally and publicly that risk being labeled as “coach killers.”
In response to his name being associated with the article, Brown used a racial slur, showcasing his unfiltered communication style.
Dulac pointed out that Diontae Johnson and George Pickens are currently vying to potentially cause disruptions with their behavior within the Steelers.
Recalling a tumultuous incident in 2019, Brown used offensive language during a heated exchange with then-General Manager Mike Mayock, including the term “cracker.” This altercation contributed to his exit from the Raiders, despite never playing a single game for the team after being traded from the Steelers.
Despite his controversial past, Brown’s relevance endures. His last NFL season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers saw him accumulate 545 yards and four touchdowns in just seven games. The seven-time Pro Bowler’s future in the spotlight remains uncertain, leaving speculation about how much longer he will stay relevant.
