We Thought The Deadspin Story Calling A Child Super-Fan Racist Couldn’t Implode Any Worse … And Then It Did – By Nicole Silverio (Daily Caller) / Nov 29, 2023
A story published by Deadspin that accused an underage Kansas City Chiefs fan of racism has imploded more than anyone could have anticipated.
Deadspin senior writer Carron Phillips accused child fan Holden Armenta of wearing blackface at a Chiefs-Raiders game in Las Vegas on Sunday. In an article published Monday with the headline “The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress,” Phillips included a photo that showed only the black-painted side of the child’s face. Other images and video clips show that the other half of Armenta’s face was painted red to display both of the team’s colors.
Armenta also wore the traditional headdress resembling the team logo from the 1960s and early 70s. Without any mention of the red paint or any other context, Phillips accused the team and the National Football League (NFL) of allowing fans to display “racism and hate” at games.
