Antonio Brown, retired NFL wide receiver, is taking shots again, this time at none other than Louie Conn, one of the two male cheerleaders for the Minnesota Vikings. Brown recently commented on a video clip of Conn practicing with the other cheerleaders on the field and dropped a homophobic slur.
Louie Conn, along with Blaize Shiek, are making headlines as one of the few male cheerleaders in the NFL. This year, around 12 teams in the National Football League have announced male cheerleaders to be a part of their group. This is not the first time that male cheerleaders have performed in the league. Back in 2018, the Los Angeles Rams became the first team in the history of the league to have male cheerleaders.

Antonio Brown was not the only one who clearly did not like this new movement of male cheerleaders in the NFL. Ever since the video clip of Louie Conn practicing went viral, there have been numerous who have dropped homophobic comments and other nasty remarks in the comments section. Still, the male cheerleaders themselves and the league have been going positively about this new change, which has also been appreciated by many.
Meanwhile, Brown is still on the run from the cops as he is wanted for attempted murder in the United States. The former wide-out is apparently hiding somewhere in the United Arab Emirates and the details of his return to his home country remains unclear.
Antonio Brown Posts Cryptic Tweet About Shedeur Sanders
Antonio Brown has been known to stir up the pot pretty frequently and the retired NFL wide receiver managed to take a shot at Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders as well recently.

“Shedure Sanders forgot he was black he thought he was rich kid have his way @NFL remind you every time.” Antonio Brown posted on his X account.
Antonio Brown’s tweet was pretty unclear but it looks like the wanted man was hinting at the presence of racism in the National Football League, and how it affects Shedeur Sanders. Sanders definitely had plenty of privilege and influence as the youngest son of Deion ‘Coach Prime’ Sanders and also being a talented player himself.
At the same time, Sanders has not been to immediately rise up to the ranks in the Browns roster just because of his privilege. The young rookie has also faced plenty of backlash regarding his attitude, something which other similar players did not face.
