Bradley Wright-Phillips of the New York Red Bulls is one of the top scorers in Major League Soccer. His shade game is pretty serious as well.
There was, of course, plenty of banter on social media, from fans of both sides of the NY Derby before, during and after Sunday’s match, won by New York City FC, 1-0, at Yankee Stadium.
Most of it was the usual shade, involving colors, a baseball stadium and geography.
An NYCFC fan tweeted at Wright-Phillips and Alex Callens, poking fun at how well the defender kept BWP in check over the course of 90 minutes.
One of those liking the tweet was Callens, prompting this epic response from BWP, referencing the “Who’s your daddy” chants Red Bulls rain down on NYCFC because of Wright-Phillips' stunning strike rate of 11 goals in 11 league games vs. their rivals.
Mark your calendars, Round 3 is set for Aug. 22 back in the Bronx.
