... - even though other half of child's face was painted RED to match team's colors
Sports outlet Deadspin has accused a young Kansas City Chiefs' fan of wearing racist blackface despite photos showing him wearing team colors across his entire face as well as a Native American headdress.
The uproar started when a photographer of the young fan, taken in profile, showed his face painted black.
Sports reporter Carron Phillips later wrote on Monday that 'a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.'
But others pointed out the other half of the child's face - one not seen in the initial picture - was painted team color red.
He also took a shot at the headdress, which the team has banned since 2020, saying the fan 'doubled up' on racism by wearing the clothes some consider 'cultural appropriation.'
