Deadspin attacked a child for dressing in blackface at a Kansas City Chiefs game yesterday and suggested the NFL needs to do something about this.
Here’s their tweet:
The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress https://t.co/9eGBsA8nca

In their article they only showed this picture. But there’s another picture that reveals why this attack is irresponsible and reprehensible.
His face was red on the other side. It wasn’t blackface. It was Indian face paint:
The media is really trying to smear a child over this.

And the guy who wrote the article is bending over backwards to justify this ridiculousness:
For the idiots in my mentions who are treating this as some harmless act because the other side of his face was painted red, I could make the argument that it makes it even worse.
Y’all are the ones who hate Mexicans but wear sombreros on Cinco.@Deadspinhttps://t.co/MfoG8vArWs pic.twitter.com/oQTxhUeA00
