Fan Pilloried by Progs for Tribal Face paint and Headdress at ‘Chiefs’ Game Is Descended from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians

The rage-mongers in the social-justice media like to get out in front of their skis if you take me meaning. Cart before the horse. Tail wagging the dog. It happens often, but this is just embarrassing.

 

An article from Deadspin’s Carron J. Phillips accused the young child, Holden Armenta, of wearing racist blackface in an article titled, “The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress.” The child was wearing the team’s colors of red and black and his headdress resembled the team’s 1960s and early ’70s logo.

 

According to the Daily Caller, the young man’s grandfather “is a member at the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.” His Great-Grandfather “was an elder of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.”

The kid has more Native American in him than Lizard Warren, but then who doesn’t? This makes the Deadspin hit piece an attack on a native American for wearing culturally appropriate gear to a football game where the team name honors his family’s ancient warriors.

And it’s not even about the kid. The whiney SJWs can’t stand that KC refuses to give their Arrowhead logo or the name to something more #woke like the Kansas City Snowflakes, or Groomers, or how about “Social Justice Warriors?”

It irks the left, and I bet those intolerant little troglodytes lose sleep over it – no, that they sleep. But it’s the one that got away. Land-O-Lakes got rid of their Indians but kept the Land. Aunt Jemimah got so SJW pink-slipped that they changed the branding altogether. Uncle Ben lost his gig. Mutual of Omaha dumped their Chief, and the Redskins sent their Indian packing and replaced him with a Commander.

Has Deadspin taken a shot at Taylor Swift for dating Big Chief Travis Kelsey? How dare she date a player on a team with a name like the Chiefs. Or is Swift also too big for them to tackle?
