Carron J. Phillips Kansas City Chiefs Fan

On Monday, November 27, Carron published an article on Deadspin calling out a young fan for allegedly wearing ‘black face and a native headdress’, the article entitled “The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress”. He alleged that the young fan had found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.

In the article he alleged that despite the fans age “who taught that person that what they were wearing was appropriate?” He added that NFL was to blame as it’s their responsibility ” to stop racism and hate from being taught in the home, they are a league that has relentlessly participated in prejudice. If the NFL had outlawed the chop at Chiefs games and been more aggressive in changing the team’s name, then we wouldn’t be here.”

The article was however met with mixed feelings as most people felt that the young fan was paying tribute to the Kansas City Chiefs. Some sources claim that the fan was only five years old.

After the backlash Carron doubled down on his criticism as many social media users pointed that the young fan was not in ‘black face’ but had his face painted red and black. He tweeted “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.”
