Deadspin should stick to sports. The former Gawker-owned site smeared a 9-year-old Kansas City Chiefs fan as being a racist for wearing black and red face paint. And the parents are threatening to sue. Could Deadspin wind up like Gawker, getting sued into oblivion? One can only hope…

Looking at a large chunk of Philips articles, they all seem to be race related… Someone sounds like a one trick pony. He doesn't need a job.
Trying to cancel and calling kids racist just because the kid wanted to support his team in which was the team's logo…. Like how low do you have to go to go after a kid?
Know what funny? The kid and his dad are Native American! So they called a kid who half indian a racist! Lol
The moron claiming the dad intentionally dressed the kid up to own the libs shows us that they are themselves the kind of person who would use their kid as a handbag in their cultural warrior cosplay. I mean, if they actually had a child. That sort usually doesn't have children ("for the planet's sake"). But they sure do have a lot of opinions on how the rest of us should raise our kids.
The funny thing about this whole situation is how stupidly wrong this whole thing was lol… accusing a Native American for being racist wearing team colors and a traditional head dress… nice “journalism” there.
Dead spin ought to rename themselves as Death Spiral cuz that’s what they’re in right now. And they have no one to blame but themselves and that talentless, race hustling, narcissistic, waste-of-a-mothers-love, Carron Phillips for this. I hope they get sued for every moldy penny they’re worth and that Carron will be blacklisted from any and all journalism or info spreading careers for the foreseeable future. He wanted to fuck around, well it’s high time he found out. He broke one of the cardinal rules of the internet and society in general: You don’t ever go for kids!
It was a kid?, holy shut, who calls racist a kid for wearing a custom?, besides how is that offensive?, didn't native americans wear that kind of hair dress?, do that thing represent something bad? maybe we should ask natives if they find that offensive. Besides as far as I know, there are not humans with half face red and half face black, so I think that its pretty clear that that is not supposed to be a skin color.
I thought Hulk Hogan leg dropped another one. But the headdress and the imagery of American Indians just looks cool, so of course people want to wear it and show it off. Fuck your "cultural appropriation." Shit ain't real. And speaking of redecorating Kneon's old school, Sparta is still around. His school just traded one indigenous cultural theming for another. I'd ask them how they think Spartans would feel about the school appropriating their history and culture. And after this, I don't expect the Kansas City Chiefs to be around much longer. I swear, this is where it all starts, but I hope not.
I wonder if Deadspin knows Native Americans weren't black…
Yes, they are in a Deadspin.
To slander an innocent CHILD like this is just disgusting. They better sue them as then it could serve as a potential warning to others on why you DO NOT slander children.
Good.
Even if he was 100% white, i don't care if he has a painted face or wearing nayive head dress.
what men that say
And this is how you make actual racists.
By tormenting children or bystanders, you push them into the arms of actual racists.
I hope they get sued for every cent they own to the point they can't even afford to buy a packet of tissues from a dollar store.
The kid's grandfather is full Chumash and is on the Santa Yaez Chumash Board, so it makes him Chumash, fking guy is a S Tier lvl moron, him and Deadspin need to be sued into oblivion and be charged with child abuse if the kid suffers any bullying.
The indigenous community does not endorse, but that doesn't mean the community denounce the use of regalia as a costume. The community could be indifferent with other using regalia as a costume.
The presstitutes in Deadspin is maliciously deceptive.
Whatever happened to doing good, honest work, keeping your nose to the grindstone, and being promoted after you've paid your dues? Sorry. Wrong century. Wrong country.
This could of ruined this young boys life! woke carron j Phillips should pay for his racist comments….
Whats the problem with using Native Americans as sports mascots? They also use Vikings, Spartans, etc. How is that any different?
Cultural appropriation is a joke. Beyoncé is not a blonde woman.
This journalist literally placed your sons life in danger when they implied he was a racist. Don't back down, sue Deadspin into oblivion.
America is healing, sue those f's to oblivion 😆
First it not black face, they have photos of black players on Cheifs with him, and they do not care, this is just a small minded liberal who thinks everything is racist. He, and those like him, have by doing this cry wolf everytime they see something like this, are making this word worthless, as more and more start to not care. So one day when a real racist thing happens no one well give a fuck,
Also there needs to be jail time because of this. This writer, and those who run Deadspin need to be put in jail. They have run a smear campaign, on a 9 yeat old kid, with out knowing the facts, they put this kids life, and his families in danger, what if they got attacked for this. And they could with how crazy things are,
Woke media attacking kids is disgusting
Since when did these people become become the caricature of the white man telling natives how do dress and act?
If that's blackface then Kiss better watch out.
They should be sued. For defamation of character.
Keon as much as you can try you can't escape politics. The left has infused it everywhere. This should have never been a story but the left has to spread theor religion anywhere and anyway they can.
Did DeadSpace ever even take the time to think to themselves why a 9 year old who "hates natives" would be supporting a Native American inspired team.
Do it! Sue them to nonexistence! That kid needs a future!
One of the most important things in politics is making laws which make it easier to sue for defamation in certain cases.
They are no journalists they are hacks. When you cannot be bothered to get the facts and then double down on lies you are a hack. Also, in regards to this child, he and and his family are native Americans. The family should sue. They have a clear case of defamation.
Think the official colors for the chiefs is red and yellow but the chiefs logo has red and black and the jersey is red yellow and white. Not that dressing up with red and black face paint offends me or the fact that the mascot is native American. I am not even technically a part of a group that could claim offence.
His grandfather is part of the tribe. He's of the tribe. They also said that the page said that they don't support it, but everyone is allowed to do their personal thing.
deadspin is that stupid..the kid painted his face in the teams color…..what the heck…that is it…anyone with a brain saw that…OMG…even my daughter said cool he painted his face in the teams color…
