Amid Ja Morant’s controversial celebration in which he appears to be shooting an imaginary gun that was later confirmed as a popular dance, Texas Longhorns’ Quinn Ewers did the exact same celebration in college football. Ewers did this during the Sugar Bowl against the Washington Huskies but the response to it was much different.
It led to Antonio Brown coming out against Barstool Sports.
When Morant came up with a high-flying dunk in New Orleans to help beat the Pelicans in overtime on Dec. 26th, Barstool posted Ja Morant’s reaction, which was celebratory as well but they called him out for using a gun while stating Ewers was just having fun.
Barstool Sports wrote, “Ja spraying imaginary bullets into section 113 after the slam.”
Quinn Ewers did the same celebration and the Barstool Sports’ account wrote: “Quinn Ewers is having fun.”
Morant simply responded to the tweet with a crying face emoji while former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown decided to use a racial slur.
He wrote: “Crackerism.”

Morant was suspended for 25 games to start the 2023-24 season over his continued use of firearms in social media posts, so the allegations of him taunting the NBA with a celebration sparked a major buzz on social media.
Morant said the dance was simply the “Rock ya hips” move made popular this football season by members of the LSU football team.
