A white kid has gone viral on X after dressing up like Colorado’s Travis Hunter for Halloween.

Hundreds of cool costumes have surfaced on social media this week, as have questionable ones.

A Buffaloes fan going by the name “Matthew” posted a photo of one of his mother’s students in a Travis Hunter jersey and fake dreads to said platform, garnering close to three million views in less than 12 hours.

“My mom is a teacher and look what one of her students costume is today!” he wrote as the caption. “Happy Halloween! #SkoBuffs.”

Social Media Had A Lot To Say About The Travis Hunter Cosplay

As you might imagine, the comments were all over the place, with some fans accusing the student of racism while others thought his costume was fun.

“Racist,” one declared.

“Mfs wanna be everything but white,” someone added.

“Kids just wanna be their favorite athletes don’t make it weird,” Matthew replied.

“And did it without doing black face 🤣 Let him be an example to others who just don’t get it,” someone pointed out.

“If it’s done in good taste like this, there’s nothing wrong with it,” someone else wrote.

“Lil bro just wanted to be his favorite player🤷🏾‍♂️,” another fan noted.

“Nah the dreads is crazyyyy 😳😭 lil homie could of just wore the jersey and shoulder pads and pullednit off…” someone joked.

“Did it without black face, this is tuff😂 got the temu dreads,” another laughed.

It’s hard to play both sides nowadays, even when you dress up like an athlete who stars on both sides of the ball.

Whether this should be considered offensive or not is subjective and will be left up to you, but it does seem like the kid in the photo simply wanted to dress up as an athlete he admires.

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark was named WNBA Rookie of the Year on Thursday, the league announced.

Clark overwhelmingly beat out Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese in a poll of 67 sportswriters and broadcasters.

The 22-year-old Clark saw her rookie campaign come to an end after the Fver were swept out of the playoffs by the Connecticut Sun.

A week after the postseason exit, Clark posted a message on Instagram to thank her fanbase.

“Year one,” the NCAA all-time leading scorer wrote along with a green tick emoji.

“Thank you to the many people who have supported me as I’ve been able to live my childhood dream.
