Arizona State urging fans to avoid black face this weekend
Fans have been known to engage in some wild face-painting prior to sporting events in an effort to showcase their school spirit and fandom. Unfortunately, in some cases, we see tone-deaf fans show their insensitive nature by showing up in “black face.”
This always sparks outrage and Arizona State is hoping to avoid any of that negative attention this weekend.
This weekend’s game against the Colorado Buffaloes is being marketed as the school’s “blackout” game, so they are worried of the possibility that some racist face paint could be showing up.
In an effort to stop any poor decisions, Arizona State sent out a message urging fans to avoid covering their faces in black paint.
