A nine-year-old boy and his family's Chumash-Indian heritage were defamed in a Deadspin article

Nine-year-old H.A. Armenta attended the Chiefs-Raiders NFL football game wearing a Chiefs jersey and necklace, his face painted half-red and half -black, and a costume headdress.

Deadspin Senior Writer Carron Phillips wrote an article, published by Deadspin , entitled "The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress" The boy, 9 , wore it because he loves the Chiefs and loves his family's Chumash-Indian heritage.

Deadspin 's lies have caused the Armenta Family enormous damage.

They have exposed the family to a barrage of hate, including death threats and insults.

H.A. has already suffered significantly.

His test scores and grades have dropped in school, and he has shown emotional damage from negative attention.
