Did the Jazz social-media producer on duty not look closely enough at the photo? Not understand how and why blackface is a wildly offensive concept to many people? Either way, the post was quickly deleted, and the Jazz offered this apology:
We apologize for the last retweet/tweet moments ago, we have taken it down as it may be insensitive.
