Deadspin is digging a deeper hole, and their downward spiral is still ongoing.
A sports website has sparked outrage after incorrectly calling a child dressed in Native American garb “racist.” Demands that the NFL investigate claims of “racism” become louder.

Disclosing the reality behind the contentious “blackface” photo that served as their header, it’s important to remember that the photograph only showed one side of the subject’s face being blackened. They neglected to disclose, though, that he also wore black and red paint on his face, displaying his unshakable devotion to the Kansas City Chiefs as a club.
It now appears that the youngster is Native American, as if that wasn’t enough of a “L” for Deadspin.
Oops!
The little kid’s mother posted on Facebook that the boy is Native American, and this was confirmed. The Santa Ynez, California-based Armenta family is deeply rooted in their Native American culture. Holden’s granddad really serves on the Chumash tribe’s board in their village.
Give Carron J. Philips and Deadspin a chance. They were ready to pass judgment on an unidentified little child, but perhaps it’s time to be empathetic. We shouldn’t pick out kids for acting in “problematic” ways.
Deadspin and Philips’ actions were completely reprehensible. Philips falsely accused a young child of being political and unfairly called him a “racist” for merely taking part in a Kansas City fan ritual. The youngster was actually embracing his ancestry with pride. Philips ought to have taken his annoyance at the parents or CBS for airing the youngster on television rather than harming a child. This is not the way a well-known journalist should ever single out and attack a youngster.
Regretfully, the left has turned public flogging of kids for alleged racist behavior into a practice.
Remember Nick Sandmann and the Covington Catholic High School boys?
An manipulated video of Sandmann smiling awkwardly at leftist campaigners sparked outrage on the internet. Even though the MAGA hat wearer was only a kid, media outlets jump on the bandwagon, quick to accuse him of hate crimes.
ALERT! Major Water Restrictions In Effect!
Following the publication of the entire tape, Sandmann and his family were able to successfully regain the narrative. As a result, he was forced to accept a sizeable compensation from the media outlets that had first defamed him.
What does Holden Armenta’s family have ahead of them?
On social media, the son’s parents have been assiduously defending him. They do have legal representation, according to his father Raul “Bubba” Armenta.
No matter what they decide, his parents are fully entitled to take legal action.
Make it clear to these dishonest media sources that it is wrong to attack defenseless youngsters. Let’s work together to stop this worrying trend and protect our kids.
