Leftist Sports Writer Roasted For Saying Kid In Facepaint & Headdress At NFL Game ‘Hates Black People & Native Americans’

Even X Community Notes slammed the author’s false portrayal of the child attending Kansas City Chiefs game

A writer for a crappy sports website called Deadspin found himself at the center of a national scandal after he attacked a child football fan by falsely claiming the white kid was wearing “black face.”

“The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress,” reads a Deadspin post on X alongside a photo showing only one side of the fan’s face.

The social media site’s Community Notes feature lets viewers know, “The picture on the article is misleading. Other pictures of the child in question show that the other half of his face is painted red, black and red being the team’s colors.”

In the article, author Carron J. Phillips claimed Chiefs fans are “doubling up on the racism” of wearing Native American gear and that the child “found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.”

Upon being called out on social media, Phillips actually doubled down on the child’s alleged racism despite learning the other side of the kid’s face was painted red!

The “journalist” called people upset by his mischaracterization of the boy “idiots” and claimed the fact the kid’s face was half red “makes it even worse” before oddly asserting white people “hate Mexicans but wear sombreros on Cinco [de Mayo].”

“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,” he wrote.

Posting an image of the child’s full face, popular pedophile catcher Alex Rosen asked, “Is this racist?”

Top tier X account Libs of TikTok wrote, “Shame on you trying to ruin a young child’s life. Hope he sues you for defamation.”

The internet’s voiceover king Steve Inman also suggested Phillips be “sued into oblivion.”

Phillips limited who can comment on his X posts and is blocking people criticizing his article.

One X user said that as a Native American, they “fully condone” the fan’s attire and see it as honoring his culture, not appropriation.

As a American Native, I fully condone this fan’s actions. This is not cultural appropriation for harm, but honoring by motif. If we keep removing these references we will have eventually removed all memory. The Hunt family has long honored us. GO CHIEFS!

Wrong Speak Publishing News Editor Haley Kennington suggested Americans be upset with “men in women’s face,” or transgender people, instead of the young sports fan.

Even X owner Elon Musk commented on the situation, declaring another victory for Community Notes.

In an unsurprising find, Libs of TikTok also pointed out an old racist Tweet by Phillips where he said it was “concerning” to see so many white people during his visit to Flint, Michigan.

The leftist writer’s race-baiting piece backfired and turned the boy into somewhat of a folk hero with artwork and memes floating around the internet.
