'Dollar Tree Ja'Marr Chase' speaks out about backlash to Kings Island prank

"I knew my intent and I knew my intent wasn't to do any harm," said Dale Adams, who runs the account Prodigy Sports. The online media creator pushed that Chase was going to make an appearance on the first Saturday that Kings Island opened. Ultimately, some fans not only fell for it but even had their Bengals jerseys autographed by the prankster. "I did, you know, empathize with the family and the kid, but at the same time, I don't think it should be that much pushback on me," said Adams. The pushback he's seen ranges from racially insensitive messages to calls for the arrest of him and his cousin, Reece Schmidt, who was in the video with him.
