Getty CompositeAntonio Brown used offensive language on his social media page yet again on Wednesday night ... calling Jared McCain a homophobic slur during the NBA draft.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers star typed out the f-word as McCain -- an ex-Duke guard -- was being taken by the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 17 overall.
The post -- which was made on top of a McCain TikTok that showed the hooper dancing around with a shower cap and painted nails -- appeared to be an attempt by Brown to be funny ... but there weren't many laughing in the comment section.
GettyNearly everyone dragged the 35-year-old for the inappropriate post ... although, unfortunately, Brown's behavior didn't get much better throughout the night.
The ex-wideout also called former Purdue center Zach Edey a racial slur ... and, earlier in the evening, he said Adam Silver "look like a giant penis."

Damar Hamlin and Tom Brady have had to throw blocks his way in the past as well.
