Deadspin managed to get their hands on this picture of a, uh, ridiculously offensive Halloween costume. Not sure what's worse, the blackface or the bullet hole. Or everything.
why even gratify this little douche with an article, someone at the party should've broken those teeth and gave him a real head injury to smile about rather than take a picture and send it around online
I really don't see the big deal, yes it may be in bad taste. But the fact remains that we all are still able to choose how we express ourselves. There are bigger things to worry about than how some kid decides to dress for Halloween.
You know I am not the type of person who cares what people think or if they find me offensive, but this is too far even for someone like me. I can't even say for people to grow thick skin in this situation like I normally would. Hopefully someone tracks down this douche and gives him the beating his daddy should have.
I'm glad to see that some of you are bringing yourselves down just as low and he is by making assumptions like he's from Jersey and he drives his parents' car. Way to go, you showed him.
I really don't care about it, all the ignorant ass stuff in the world a costume of a football player who died isn't going to make me trip. If it were a dead Marine costume, dead priest, hell even a dead baby then that's when I'm offended It's okay to dress up as Vampires, Jason, murderers like Manson, etc but a guy dresses up as a dead player that's horrible. The only player I can think of football wise I see untouchable is Pat Tillman.
Oh yeah I'm sure there's people who have laughed at gay jokes, injury jokes, Michael Jackson jokes, offensive race or sex jokes. So lets not cast stones in a glass house yaddamean.

how is this anything like dressing up as "vampires, Jason" pherhaps the manson argument has some merit but are you not aware that vampires and jason are in fact fictional? there aren't actually vampires going around sucking people's blood and jason has never been more than an actor; where as in this case, it's dressing up as a REAL dead football player. dressing up as Manson (i've never seen this) although kinda messed up is still just dressing up as a scary psychotic guy, not like dressing up as a victim of an internment camp and why is dressing up as a dead priest offensive? it doesn't focus on one person, it's just like being a zombie with the 'backstory' of a priest and is it even possible to dress up as a dead baby? if so please elaborate on how to do so
and again in your next comment the gay, race and sex jokes may have some merit to them but injury? how is laughing at some guy breaking his leg or something in a stupid way offensive? and michael jackson? did you write this while watching this is it?
