Parents of young Chiefs fan threaten to sue Deadspin over "blackface" lie

His college education may be paid for

Sports news site Deadspin and their senior writer and full-blown racist, Carron Phillips, may have finally gone too far in his race-baiting career disguised as 'reporting' as the family of 9-year-old Holden Armenta, a Kansas City Chiefs fan, is threatening to sue the outlet after he was accused of being racist for wearing a Native American headdress and painting his face half black and half red. Of course Phillips only showed a sideways photo with the black part of the boy's face. [H/T NY Post]

Holden's parents, Shannon and Raul, have since hired Clare Locke LLP to demand that the sports news site and senior writer Carron Phillips issue a retraction for his story headlined “The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress.”

They also threatened separate legal action against Phillips, Deadspin, publisher G/O Media and Great Hill Partners in a letter obtained by NewsNation.

“These articles, posts on X and photos about Holden and his parents must be retracted immediately,” the letter warned.


“It is not enough to quietly remove a tweet from X or disable the article from Deadspin’s website. You must publish your retractions and issue an apology to my clients with the same prominence and fanfare with which you defamed them.”

Once Phillips was outed for his race-baiting report and the boy's full face with the red side shown, the former New York Daily News "reporter" went on the attack of the child's Native American headdress and the "Tomahawk Chop" fan gesture. The human pile of dog poop claimed the boy “found a way to hate Black people and Native Americans at the same time.”

“It takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once,” he wrote in the article, which has since been correctly tagged with a community note on X branding it “purposely deceiving.”

It's weasels like Phillips who cause people to distrust what they read in the news.

“This is what happens when you ban books, stand against Critical Race Theory, and try to erase centuries of hate,” the racist ironically wrote. “You give future generations the ammunition they need to evolve and recreate racism better than before.”

Well there you go: the critical race theory supporter shows his true ideology.

The boy’s outraged mother, Shannon Armenta, wrote that “[T]his has nothing to do with the NFL,” suggesting the photo was picked purely “to create division.”

Phillips also criticized Holden for doing the “Tomahawk Chop” gesture at the game. Shannon Armenta / Facebook

“He is Native American — just stop already,” she wrote of her son.

In fact, Holden’s grandfather, Raul Armenta, sits on the board of the Chumash Tribe in Santa Ynez, California, according to the Post Millennial.

Carron Karen Phillips is a race baiting hack and I hope Holden's parents take Deadspin, Phillips, and G/O Media and Great Hill Partners to the proverbial cleaners.
