The parents of 9-year-old Kansas City Chiefs fan Holden Armenta smeared by Deadspin journalist Carron Phillips filed a lawsuit against the outlet for “maliciously and wantonly” attacking the boy in an explosive complaint.
Carron Phillips smeared an innocent child who attended Sunday’s Kansas City vs Las Vegas game by posting a deceptive photo of only one side of his face.
“It takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once. But on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas, a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate black people and the native americans at the same time,” Phillips wrote accusing the child of ‘blackface.’
It turns out Holden Armenta is Native American.
Holden is of Native American descent and belongs to the Chumash tribe, with his grandfather serving on the Tribe board in Santa Ynez.
Carron Phillips deleted his tweets attacking Holden Armenta, however, the child’s family in December demanded a retraction and apology.
