Philadelphia 76ers Ben Simmons displays message of support to Aussie egg boy teen

The Philadelphia 76ers' Ben Simmons displayed a message of support for an Australian teenager who smashed an egg on a right-wing lawmaker's head, wearing shoes with the words "Egg Boy" written on them during Tuesday's game against Charlotte. Senator Fraser Anning was approached from behind at a political event on Saturday before the 17-year-old cracked the egg on the back of his head.

The teenager was dubbed "Egg Boy" on social media and Australian Simmons showed his support by writing the nickname on his bright yellow shoes. Anning had received widespread condemnation following his comments that the cause of last week's shootings at two New Zealand mosques that left 50 dead was letting "Muslim fanatics" migrate to the country. Australian Brenton Harrison Tarrant, 28, a suspected white supremacist, was charged with murder on Saturday.
