Oh, I completely agree. The only people I know calling for an end to the chop have never been on a reservation in their entire lives. The fact of the matter is that they still have so many issues they deal with on a daily basis like their women disappearing off the reservation in alarming numbers. No one on a reservation has time to worry about an NFL team doing the tomahawk chop.

The parents put the kid in this situation, though. Just own up to being bad parents. Don’t try and make a fortune off your kids misery. Do you think them filing this lawsuit will help people forget about this so the kid can get on with his life? Deadspin can definitely go **** themselves, but let’s not reward the kids parents for being a couple ****ing obtuse morons.

Regardless of parental responsibility the first question a journalist should ask is… do I want to ruin this kid? And if that doesn’t compel you to at least reach out to the family and get their context and you publish the story anyway, and worse you use a kid as a prop for outrage clicks, you need your ethics checked.
If you get context from the family, your second question should still be… do I want to ruin this kid

I guess you would also have or point out a problem this...

Boy Scouts Tribe of mic-o-say:

His “tribe” already made a statement saying they didn’t support the cultural appropriation.

"The tribe we’re from doesn’t even wear that type of headdress," he added, noting that the specific regalia worn by Holden was merely a costume piece.”

…

Tribal Chairman Kenneth Kahn, of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, issued a statement Thursday to the Santa Ynez Valley News.

“We are aware that a young member of our community attended a Kansas City Chiefs game in a headdress and face paint in his way of supporting his favorite team. Please keep in mind that the decisions made by individuals or families in our community are their own and may not reflect the views of the broader tribal community," Kahn said. "As a federally recognized tribe, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians does not endorse wearing regalia as part of a costume or participating in any other type of cultural appropriation."

Are we really still needing to point to the Boy Scouts being a problem?! I thought all the sexual abuse did that years ago.

I would bet that these parents allowed their kid to dress like that for many a Chiefs game and never had an issue. Don't assume that there was any malicious intent. Otherwise, you are just another Carron.

Dude who the **** is this MULT.... The sheer CRINGE of being offended for something you have no connection to.

Pond of Red is a deadspin writer?

Pond of red is def a mult.

Mult?! I’ve been posting on this board way before your mom even gave you internet privileges.

The dude also double down after taking heat for the article

Fun fact: Chumash is in the same place where Sideways takes place. Wine country, casino… I’m thinking I might head up there this weekend and tell some marines Semper Fi

Come'on! ...I'm all for being politically correct but this a damn child just out there having fun supporting his team. ZERO maliciousness involved, obviously. SMH

:LOL: A defamation lawsuit isn’t bringing anyone “generational wealth”

Certainly not a judgement against Deadspin. Can’t imagine there is much juice left to squeeze out.

I pray they bankrupt them.
