Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs runs with the ball, as seen in a photo by Mike RoemerAP. The parents of a 9-year-old Chiefs fan, Holden Armenta, are threatening to sue Deadspin over a story about their son wearing a Native American headdress and painted face to a game. The article, titled “The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress,” prompted the family to hire Clare Locke LLP to demand a retraction and apology. Holden’s father, Raul, believes it’s too late for an apology, as the story has already caused worldwide disrespect towards Native Americans and his family.
