Ok, the child is wearing a caricature of an indigenous American because the team’s mascot is a racist caricature, because American culture is so vile that white people like to do victory dances on top of mass graves. This country is so evil we instill racism into children by way of silly games and costumes of genocide victims. This child is a victim of racist indoctrination. A sensible society would sit down with this kid and explain racism to them, then hopefully we’d give every child an education on liberation, decolonization, and Marxism. Instead of the constant racist noise that passes for culture in this country.
I’ve noticed that the Chiefs get nowhere near the flak that the teams formerly known as the removed and Indians got, less than the Braves as well. Something about the “title not ethnicity” name and the anthropomorphic mascot keeps them out of the line of fire.
I mean it’s all marketing and the owner probably thinks it’ll be more expensive to change it completely than just minimize any racist connections. Though honestly changing names and logos sounds like an awesome way to bleed more money out of fans as they are encouraged to buy another jersey, hat, etc.
They also have a very racist arm chop and chant thing they do to “evoke” native-ness that gets very little scrutiny despite being so obviously offensive
dog their mascot might be a wolf but with the name and logo idk that you can call putting a fake headress and black/redface just a ‘homebrewed fan’ thing
My point was that the comment made it sound like a Native American caricature was their mascot and I was correcting that. Obviously there’s still problematic things with the Chiefs marketing. Metaphorically, it’s like the Klan hosting a meeting on a dude’s lawn because he has one of those racist lawn jockeys on it.
waaahhhhh. sniffles. That’s what you sound like. A good majority of American sports teams facilitate racist carictatures of minorities. Namely Native Americans. The fact that the “Redskins” were a team for so long pretty much proves the average amerikkkan does not give a shit if their team is the most racist shit ever. And now I’m sure this kid has been told since birth that it’s fine what he is doing but it’s not. I honestly feel bad for this kid more than anything. It’s not his fault he was born into a group of people that are fine with perpetuating racism. Maybe he will grow out of it and realize how bad this is
Wearing the colours of the team as face paint is fine, if it is not combined with the fucking feathered headdress that is sold in every fucking costume store in every western country. It’s very clearly meant to evoke the look of a native american, even a non-american can see that. And nobody here is suggesting that the kid face any kind of consequence, we just think that it’s emblamatic of a shitty society that litteral children are dressed like that.

Death to America.
Is that better?
See, that’s the rub, the Chiefs’ mascot is a wolf. The whole “dress up as caricatures of Natives at games” thing is a homebrewed fan thing.
Also this was an away game because at home games you’re not allowed to wear that shit because everybody realizes how fucking racist it is.
They don’t extend that train of thought and change the team name but that’s another discussion.

Not having a literal slur for a name or a racist charactiture for a mascot seems like a low bar but other teams managed to trip dick first over it.

That was originally a thing with Braves fans, Chiefs fans copied it. So it’s the Braves fans that get criticized for it.

The child isn’t the one intentionally facilitating racist ideals, his parents who dressed him up or allowed him to dress up in that racist get-up are
Imagine being so brain-broken that you think it’s appropriate to dress a child as a racist caricature
Fuck outta here with that bullshit racist apologia
We actually have a really good essay on why it’s okay for white people to wear racial caricatures and honors, like a head dress, they haven’t earned at sports games. Check it out!

Also the chiefs colors are red and yellow so the black face is absolutely not part of the team’s colors.
So they’re communists not syndicalists!
Look at the headpiece, moron
