Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby recently revealed that Antonio Brown gave him permission to do something that would undoubtedly anger black fans.

While the former star wide receiver was released by the team just months after he joined them via trade, his friction with the Raiders didn’t prevent him from being friends with Crosby.

A tweet from Dov Kleiman citing Haliey Welch’s ‘Talk Tuah’ podcast notes that Crosby claimed he was given free rein with the “N-word,” thanks to Brown. “AB knows a valid cracker when he sees one,” the star DE added.

Brown confirmed this in two words.

“Maxx definitely gets an invite to the BBQ,” a fan joked.
