The hosts of NFL Network’s “NFL AM” went all out for Halloween on Friday’s show. Terrell Davis appeared as gap-toothed Michael Strahan. Rhett Wilson wore pleated pants as Jim Harbaugh. Jordan Babineaux donned dreadlocks as Marshawn Lynch. And former Redskins great LaVar Arrington transformed into J.J. Watt, paying homage to the six stitches and bloodied nose the Texans defensive end received during Houston’s Week 4 loss to the Seahawks last season.
Some people loved Arrington’s costume, while others took issue with him lightening the complexion of his skin.
Arrington felt compelled to defend himself against those who accused him of using ‘white face’ on Twitter.
Even if Arrington did wear white makeup for the costume, comparing whiteface to blackface is foolish. That said, if you’re dressing up as another human being this Halloween, it’s probably best to just leave the color of your face alone.
