A 5-year-old Kansas City Chiefs fan is about to become very rich. Paying for college should not be a problem.  If his parents lawyer up and sue the pants off the Deadspin sports website and its parent company G/O Media, that is.

The kid, who attended a recent Chiefs game sporting an Indian headdress with his face painted in red and black team colors, was depicted in a photo of his profile on the Deadspin site and accused of being in blackface. Then an adult writer for this online publication charged the kid with a double dose of racism because of the Native American headdress.

Oh please.

In other words, Deadspin - Iike most leftist media companies - was searching for racism where it didn’t exist. And it didn’t care if it had to defame a little kid to do it.

See for yourself:

Now take a gander at the boy’s whole face:

Yep, turns out he’s definitely not in blackface, he’s painted his face in team colors. 

This isn’t racism, it’s football fandom.

It’s also a prime example how far the leftist media - and that’s exactly where Deadspin falls on the political spectrum  - will go to promote a narrative.

In this case, Deadspin is desperate for Kansas City to lose “Chiefs.”

You’d think they would have learned not to go after innocent kids after the Nick Sandmann episode in 2019. Sandmann was the Covington Catholic school boy photographed at a March for Life rally in Washington DC standing face to face with an old Native American man.

On the basis of this single photo Sandmann was accused of smirking at the man of color and blocking his way. After all, isn’t being anti-abortion synonymous with racism?

Turned out it was the Native American guy who got in Sandmann’s face and backed him into the crowd.

Too late. The national media had already spread the racist narrative. Some commentators took one look at the photo and asked if viewers had ever seen “a more slappable face” than Sandmansn’s.

Nick Sandmann had the last laugh. He slapped massive defamation lawsuits on eight media companies including CNN, NBC and the Washington Post. Sandmann was seeking a total of $1.25 billion, but he settled the cases and no doubt got a payday worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

This unnamed Chiefs fan should also be compensated. He was cheering on his team and wound up being mocked as racist. 

The Chiefs should carry him into the next game on their shoulders. 

UPDATE AT 7:30 AM: UPDATE: It’s being reported that Holden Armenta, this little boy, is from California and a Native American that belongs to the Chumash Tribe. His dad is on the Chumash Tribe board in Santa Ynez. If true, the Armenta family may own Deadspin before this is all over.
