It was never really about football, was it?

All those years of googly-eyed nerds whining about “concussions” and “domestic violence” and “tribalism,” we were under the grand delusion that their gripe was with the game being played on the gridiron itself. Those with limp wrists and slight lisps were jealous of the pure, unbridled masculinity represented by the modern gladiator and were lashing out to destroy their arena — or so we thought.

Such a quaint notion has now been revealed as just that: a grand delusion. In reality, it’s clearer than ever that the left isn’t after the game. Rather, the left is after you, the football fan.

No incident better clarifies this alarming reality than the witch hunt being carried out against a young Kansas City Chiefs fan by the hacks at Deadspin.

This past Sunday, a child attended the Chief-Raiders game in Las Vegas. As many a superfan does, he dressed up in garb representing his team. In this case, that was a traditional Native American headdress, with his face painted black and red in the Chiefs colors.
