Even JuJu Smith-Schuster’s seemingly innocuous visits to a local high school prom turn into controversy these days.
Smith-Schuster, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 22-year-old star receiver, attended the Chartiers Valley High School prom last weekend. But a video surfaced on Instagram, presumably from a prom-goer, of Smith-Schuster dancing among a large crowd while many chanted a derogatory phrase repeatedly toward former Steelers receiver Antonio Brown.

The chant is not family friendly: “(Bleep) A.B.” (TMZ aggregated the video, and a link to it is contained within this link).
Smith-Schuster cannot be seen actually participating in the chant. He also, though, doesn’t seem eager to halt it.
Smith-Schuster, of course, this season is taking over Brown’s role as the Steelers’ No. 1 receiver after Brown demanded a trade and was ultimately dealt to the Oakland Raiders.
