The parents of 9-year-old Holden Armenta have hired a legal firm to demand sports news site Deadspin 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," The New York Post reports.
The sports news site has come under fire for Phillips' article, which featured a photo of Holden standing sideways — suggesting that he was wearing blackface with no mention of the red side. Holden's grandfather, Raul Armenta, sits on the board of the Chumash Tribe in Santa Ynez, California.
