The parents of the 9-year-old Chiefs fan who was wearing team color facepaint and a Native American headdress are threatening to sue Deadspin. The parents demand a retraction of the article that accused the boy of wearing blackface, when in fact, he was not wearing blackface. Trending Politics reported on Holden Armenta, 9, being in a photo from the November 26th Chiefs game with black-and-red face paint and a Native American headdress costume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, in a piece titled, \u201cThe NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress,\u201d reporter Carron J. Phillips used a photograph of Holden from only his right side which suggested his entire face was painted black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once,\u201d Phillips wrote in his piece, which has since been flagged on X by community members for being \u201cpurposely deceiving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After more than a week of blowback, including the revelation that Holden and his family are Native American descendants, the young boy\u2019s parents Shannon and Raul are floating the possibility of a lawsuit against Deadspin, according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
