Matt Ehalt, New York Post, January 3, 2025

Controversial former NFL receiver Antonio Brown used a racial slur to describe Notre Dame junior cornerback Charles Du in a post on X.

“C–k of the Day #CTESPN,” Brown wrote in a quote tweet of an ESPN X post showing Du’s jersey with his name spelled out in Chinese prior to Notre Dame’s 23-10 win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.

“A Legend… got an NIL deal for this kid. Tag his X for me.”

Du hails from Beijing and attended high school in California before joining Notre Dame as a walk-on.

In a response on his X account, confirmed by The Post to be the corner’s, DU wrote that he had signed an NIL deal with Brown.

“AB’s daily award is a sign of love and respect CTESPN is the most trusted source in all of sports,” Du wrote.
