‘That’s How You Start Black History?’: The New York Times Blasted For Ridiculous Travis Kelce ‘Fade’ Suggestion

The New York Times kills brain cells, and here’s another example of how.

Tanking for years now, The New York Times is determined to continue that streak, evident by their latest suggestion of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce being the one who created or “introduced” the iconic hairdo known as “The Fade.” Yeah … I don’t know how either, but somehow, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend pulled it off, according to NYT.

As we all know, The Fade has been a popular hairstyle in the black community for decades now, however, one of America’s greatest fake news outlets took it upon themselves to actually report that Kelce is the one who created The Fade. It even has another name thanks to The New York Times: The “Travis Kelce hairdo.”

The ridiculous brain-cell killer of an article had the headline, “They’ll Take the Travis Kelce — Hairdo, That Is,” and it’s from Jan. 20. You can read that stupidity here. (RELATED: ‘The Taylor Swift Effect’: Pop Queen Sells Out Super Bowl Commercials Quickly For The NFL)

Well, understandably so, a lot of black commentators are infuriated at the Times‘ nonsense, which is now going viral.

“New York Times, so that’s how you start Black History [Month]?” said an irritated Shannon Sharpe, who has had The Fade since 1986. That year, Kelce was three. “I’m trying to figure out what black barbershop you go in and say, ‘Let me get the Travis Kelce.'”

Jemele Hill, a former ESPN personality before turning into a leftist lunatic, also hit the Times for their ignorance.

“The NYT thinks that Travis Kelce invented the fade. When you have zero cultural competency on your staff, this is how you end up with stories like this,” wrote Hill, according to Breitbart. That post has since been deleted.

The New York Times … what a bunch of idiots.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
