Deadspin really stepped in it this time

Leila is very good, in her own right. Just gonna say it out loud: I respect the heck out of traditionally attractive females who don’t make it about their looks, don’t become the girl next door as social media thirst traps. Likewise, traditionally non-attractive females who succeed, which is infinitesimally more difficult.

And to a lesser degree, it happens with men, too. Whoever posted about the newscaster who said he wasn’t good looking enough, that hit me. And I’m good-looking.

I'm not ready to call the kid or his parents racist because of this.

But ... the Chiefs say you can't wear a headdress or paint you face in Native American-style, right? Where is Daddy to tell the kid not to do that, and to not paint his face for the game?

Be a ****ing parent, which includes advising your kids about not doing things that may not be a good idea, or against the rules. And I'm sorry, but no matter the motivation, to paint black paint on your face in this day of age is a bad idea.

I know he's playing the sympathy tour, and how it's too late for an apology for his son and all. But he could have prevented all this with a small dose of forethought.

Have the Chiefs said anything? The organization seems to have ignored a years old rule for fans

The game was in Las Vegas.

The kid's family is being represented by the same law firm that represented Dominion in the Fox News lawsuit.

Good luck getting damages for “our racist depiction of Native Americans was incorrectly reported as a racist depiction of Blacks.”

Carron Phillips has locked his X account. Guess he got tired of defending his ****ty work to everyone.

I really owe the guy an apology on the way out. He did write something that had absolutely nothing to do with race.

It’s time Dr Pepper eliminated the chest pass from its Tuition Giveaway contest

Before I know how to react to this, how do you feel about Leila Rahimi?

Leila is awesome, an absolute grinder and a total pro.

It starts with "leftist idealogues". Pass.

How about starting a piece with "****ty Post columnist"? Or is that redundant?

Well, they're trying to get out of it.

We called the kid racist, but not racist racist.

I came on here expecting the "That's Racist!" meme and am sorely disappointed. So here's a bunny with a pancake on its head.

This is the money shot. And he's absolutely right.

I no longer patronize sports entertainment or journalism like I used to because of people like Carron Phillips who claim the title of sports journalist while their purpose is to find — or manufacture — social ills.

 

[Azrael]

This is the money shot. And he's absolutely right.

If the headdress and certain face paints are a "manufactured ill," why did the Chiefs ban them?

I'm not defending the original piece, but - as always - it's more complicated than the NY Post would have us believe.
