Jamaal Charles is back tonight for the Chiefs. He’s an important, famous player! So ESPN pointed out his return in the pregame:
ESPN used a picture of current Texan Kendrick Lewis in a Jamaal Charles graphic
“Well, they’re both black and have dreads. Or braids? What do you call them again? Whatever, probably the same person, just use the graphic anyway.”
Here’s the thing: That’s not Jamaal Charles. That’s Kendrick Lewis, a safety currently playing for the Houston Texans. This is Jamaal Charles:
This is Lewis:
In case you think all black people with long hair look alike (a problem at least one person at ESPN apparently has,) Lewis and Charles also wore different jersey numbers: the dude in the graphic is wearing we, Lewis’ number from last year, whereas Charles wears 25. And Charles doesn’t typically wear eye black, which Lewis does.
