Antonio Brown uses homophobic slur to describe Steve Kerr after he references Stephen Curry’s celebration

Monday was the first day of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, and Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was invited to speak. He gave an inspiring speech in which he praised Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz.

At the end of his speech, in a reference to a late-game celebration often used by Warriors star Stephen Curry, Kerr predicted that folks will be able to say “night night” to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump once the votes in this year’s general election are counted.

But controversial former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown decided to use a homophobic slur to refer to Kerr.

Kerr is one of the more accomplished people in the history of basketball. As a 3-point specialist during his playing career, he won five NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs.

After having a stint as the Phoenix Suns general manager and spending a few years in the broadcast booth for TNT, he took over as the head coach of the Warriors in 2014. At the time, they were a good, young team with untapped potential, and Kerr took the reins off their offense while adding some turbo fuel to it.

He unleashed Curry’s ability to move without the ball while allowing other players to handle some of the ball-handling responsibilities. Kerr’s hire led to three Larry O’Brien trophies over the next four seasons and a fourth one in 2022.

Of course, Kerr has also done a productive job as the head coach of Team USA men’s basketball in recent years. Although it failed to medal in last year’s FIBA World Cup, the team claimed the gold medal in this summer’s Olympics behind the talents of superstars such as Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

From time to time, Kerr has made his voice known on some important sociopolitical issues. He has been a vocal critic of Trump, the former United States president, and in 2022, he was very emotional when he implored Congress to pass gun control legislation following a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
