They would be offended if a full blooded Native American child that age was wearing that as well. It is essentially stolen valor. It’s like some ANTIFA kid saying Semper Fi to a marine. Just show some ****ing respect to peoples sacred cultures. It shouldn’t be that hard to understand.

yeah sure but like was this story even necessary? like for the sake of argument lets assume the parents dressed their kid up for the sole reason of being as racist as possible and doing it as racistly as they could, like it's still a little kid. a 10 year old doesn't have much say and has like no power to affect anything. like if it was clark hunt's adult child, sure okay blast away. but like it's a little kid, let someone in his tribe explain why he shouldn't do that. deadspin's story was at the same level of "look what this racist facebook grandma posted". people go nuts about this stuff, knowing how the internet has made everyone insane I'm sure this kid got death threats and shit, there's no reason to blast him publicly, let the people who would actually be affected by it handle it, that's all I'm saying

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.

You do you. You can do things like this in your mom’s basement. We don’t care. We just don’t want it at Arrowhead.

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.

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 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.

Kid and his father are both Native American. You nor anybody else has the right to tell them how they can dress and celebrate their culture.

The parents have every right to sue their asses to oblivion for making up a story and trying to defame a child.
