A young fan at a Kansas City Chiefs game sparked outrage for wearing a Native American headdress and half black, half red face paint.
Left-wing media outlets condemned it as “blackface” and criticized the NFL for not addressing racism.
However, the boy’s face paint was meant to emulate “Indian” war paint, not “blackface.” (Trending: Biden Shamefully Removes God From National Address)

“It takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once, wrote the Deadspin author.
“But on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas, a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate Black people and the Native American at the same time,” complained the outlet.
The boy’s parents faced criticism for allowing it, and there are questions about how he got into the stadium.

The Chiefs banned Indian-styled headdresses, but it’s unclear if the Raiders enforced the same ban.
