    Remember when a braindead columnist tried to accuse a 9-year-old
    Kansas
    City Chiefs fan of wearing blackface at a football game in an op-ed
    for
    Deadspin? Well, it appears the child’s family will be able to
    hold the
    news outlet accountable for publishing the fallacious piece.

    A Delaware judge declined to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed
    against
    Deadspin over the article, which attempted to paint the 9-year-old
    child
    as a virulent racist.

    The lawsuit was filed by California residents Raul Armenta Jr. and
    his
    wife, Shannon, on behalf of themselves and their son, Holden, who
    attended a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Las Vegas
    Raiders
    last November.

    According to the lawsuit, Holden, referred to in the lawsuit as
    “H.A.”,
    is a Chiefs fan who also loves his family’s Chumash-Indian
    heritage. He
    wore a Chiefs jersey to the game, with his face painted half-red
    and
    half-black, and a costume Native American headdress.

    The author, Carron Phillips, wrote an article accusing the child of

    wearing blackface because his face was painted half black and half
    red,
    the colors of the team he was rooting for.

    Hey @carronJphillips, were you aware at the time of publication
    that the
    little boy who you framed as a racist for wearing blackface wasn't
    wearing blackface, but the double red and black paint to support
    the Chiefs?

    Do you plan to apologize to him and his family?

    In the article, the author not only pretended the boy was wearing
    blackface, but also accused him of disrespecting Native Americans
    because he was wearing a traditional headdress.

    It takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once. On
    Sunday
    afternoon in Las Vegas, someone in the stands at the Kansas City
    Chiefs
    game wore a headdress and face paint that some observers found objectionable, leading to lots of unanswered questions.

    Why is Native American headdress banned in Arrowhead Stadium but
    not in
    every stadium in the league?

    The author claimed the boy had been taught “hatred” by his
    parents and
    called on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to condemn the child and
    his
    family.

    Amazingly, when Phillips was called out for his blatant
    race-baiting
    lie, he doubled down in a post on X. “For the idiots in my
    mentions who
    are treating this as some harmless act because the other side of
    his
    face was painted red, I could make the argument that it makes it
    even
    worse,” he wrote. “Y’all are the ones who hate Mexicans but
    wear
    sombreros on Cinco [de Mayo].”

    He later deleted the post. But the damage was already done. The
    child’s
    family indicated they began receiving hateful messages and even
    death
    threats over Phillips’ lie. One even threatened to murder Holden
    “with a
    wood chipper,” according to the lawsuit.

    The judge definitely made the right ruling in this case.
    Phillips’
    article was clearly a deceptive way to stoke racial tensions. There
    is
    nothing abnormal about this, as left-leaning members of the
    chattering
    class have been doing this for years.

    But the fact that he chose to use a child to ignite a racial
    controversy
    is about as low as whale excrement. Hopefully, Deadspin will be
    held
    accountable for publishing what was obviously a cynical attempt to
    exploit racial tensions for attention.
