There a lot of people dressed up like this at every Indians game. They show them all the time. Nothing wrong with it at all.

Go fuck yourself you bully, this is what’s wrong with people today let’s call anything racist to make ourselves feel better for the shitty lives we live.

Cosplay is racism now? Jesus christ gawker.

I’m OK with his guy. Let him cheer on his team. He didnt do anything to you.

The nomenclature thing is a well-meaning white person idea.

Many native folks prefer Indian or American Indian. And a lot would actually prefer you referred to them as a member of their tribe (since the idea that all Indians are the same thing isn’t really non-racist).

SO sick of entertainers and athletes using their platform to shove there political views and beliefs down our throats. I pay to go to sporting events and concerts to be entertained not view or listen to their BS. Sing the damned national anthem and get the “F” out of there. If you got something to say do it on your…

Even by the most aggressive and stupid definition, that is not blackface.

Am I the only one not seeing the redface or blackface paint here? He has white paint on his face and some of it has worn off. Also, he’s not wearing blackface, it’s just a warpaint getup. I remember when I used to try to get my friends to read Deadspin because this site had an interesting perspective on culture,…

Blackface and redface? You people never cease to amaze me with your ability to find offense. It’s not black and red makeup folks. It’s BLACKFACE AND REDFACE!

How?

Who exactly matters? The thousands of young black people shot by other black people this year in Chicago?!

Irreverent person fails to make irreverent statement at irrelevant game played by irrelevant team.

Dumb sports theory, references to fantasy sports and teen movies, and offering little to no actual evidence in support of said dumb theory...

Did you guys change your guidelines to issue corrections in the comments section as opposed to the article itself? They’re kind of easy to miss this way

Empowered to force a private event to include a women’s heat based on rationale that they are using public resources like an unused beach? What won’t you allow the government to enforce for you?

There is a substantial disparity between what the top male surfers can do and what the top female’s can do. There are some absolutely amazing female pros, and they would wipe the floor with the best locals at your average break but the top guys have so much power that women just have a tough time competing with them.

Surfing is strength, fearlessness and coordination -- like many other sports where women cannot compete with men. Forcing both genders to compete together would be the end of womens’ surfing. Irony has never been Deadspin’s strong suit.

I imagine it is like all other sports: if you have two individuals of equal technical ability but differing physical talent, the physical traits will win. Since women have inherent disadvantages in terms of physicality, the ceiling for them is lower.

Sharks can smell blood from miles away though...just saying

Bases loaded would yield a triple play opportunity on an infield fly.
