In yet another kick in the crotch to the credibility of America’s corrupt media, it’s now been confirmed that the young Kansas City Chiefs fan attacked by a so-called “sportswriter” for wearing an American Indian headdress and painting his face for an NFL game is Native American.

While only a minor, Holden Armenta found himself as the target of a Monday hit-piece penned by Deadspin Senior Writer Carron J. Phillips, who accused the young boy of donning blackface while attending Sunday’s matchup between the Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders. Readers who click on the link to Phillips’ story are immediately greeted with a picture of Armenta decked out in a Chiefs jersey, a traditional American Indian headdress, and half of his face painted black, accompanied by a headline that reads: “The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress.”

While I don't agree with Phillips's decision to go after a kid, or his claim that the paint he was wearing constitutes "blackface", most, if not all, Native American tribes (including the one that this boy belongs to) do not condone the wearing of ceremonial regalia (such as headdresses) as costumes:
