Family of young Kansas City Chiefs fan accused of blackface files lawsuit against Deadspin

The family of the young Kansas City Chiefs fan accused of blackface by a Deadspin reporter has filed a lawsuit against the sports outlet.
During the Chiefs' game against the Las Vegas Raiders back in November, Holden Armenta, 9, was captured by CBS Sports cameras wearing team colors across his entire face as well as a Native American headdress.
However, after painting his face black and red, cameras initially only caught the black half of Armenta's face, leading to accusations of blackface from Deadspin's Carron J. Phillips.
Phillips later wrote in a story, which was titled 'the NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress', that Armenta had 'found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time' with his face paint at the game.
Following the article, fans were quick to point out that Armenta actually had the other half of his face painted red too and was merely wearing Kansas City's colors, before the youngster's family revealed they are also Native Americans themselves.

This is one time when I hope the plaintiff gets paid.

Destroy them

I hope he wins enough to buy the Chiefs. Then he can have special “war paint” games where all fans do it for free drink promos.

Carron J. Phillips and Deadspin are fricked.
I was shocked Deadspin didn't instantly fire him when he doubled down and blocked all comments.

Unfortunately G/O Media is next to worthless so there wouldn't be much to recoup, but bankruptcy as with Gawker would be nice

You think Deadspin has like 8 billion laying around?

Loser that wrote that piece probably just imagined he would get e-cred for verbally slamming a kid supporting his team by framing it as racism. I'll be following the result of this one.

Good. Rushing to publish a story like this without performing even the most basic fact-checking all in an attempt to rile up race bullshite and ruin some kid's/family's life for clicks should be punishable by a court of law.

It's finally time. That pinko rag should've been dead years ago

He buried Gawker but the Deadspin name lives. Gawker had to sell 6 sites (including Deadspin) to Univision as part of Chapter 11. Univision then sold them to a PE group

not shocked
it's rare that an AA will own their mistakes and apologize when they get it completely wrong

I'd also like to see Carron Phillips held personally liable for this. It's sickening when shitbag activist journalists can write stuff like this and face zero professional consequences for it. I'd love it if somehow, 75% of all his future earnings go to fund this kid's college or something like that. He should not be able to live a comfortable life anymore.

Carron J. Phillips is an ignorant and hateful man of colour. A blatant racist who openly hates white people (or "wypipo", a pejorative which he uses regularly).
