Certain things should be off-limits, regardless of fan enthusiasm.

The players even loved it!” Shannon Armenta wrote on Meta, formerly Facebook, alongside several photos of her son. The Chiefs, who have been working to steer their fanbase away from harmful stereotypes of Indigenous Peoples, have not commented on the matter.
Despite the viral fan incident, the Chiefs secured their eighth win of the year against the Raiders. Mahomes threw for nearly 300 yards and two touchdowns, with Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce combining for almost 200 receiving yards. The Raiders, led by rookie QB Aidan O’Connell, kept the game close for three-quarters, but the Chiefs pulled away in the fourth quarter to secure a 31-17 victory. This was a crucial bounceback for the Chiefs after their loss to the Eagles on Monday Night Football the previous week.
In unrelated news, Taylor Swift was spotted back in Kansas City for the first time in over a month, linking up with Travis Kelce after her tour stops in South America. Although Swift was not present at the Raiders game played in Vegas, fans wonder if she will make her NFL return when the Chiefs play the Bills on December 10.
Discussing Taylor Swift seems far more entertaining than debating whether the child should have had his face painted.
