K.C. Chiefs Fan’s Mom Defends Son’s Native American Headdress Costume

A Kansas City Chiefs fan’s mom is coming to his defense … claiming that all of the haters who are saying his gameday outfit was offensive need to kick rocks.

Holden Armenta caused a big stir online on Sunday when TV cameras at the Chiefs vs. Raiders game in Las Vegas showed him donning a headdress with a painted face.

Some, including Deadspin, thought the boy was wearing blackface … and urged the NFL to speak out on the matter — calling his feathered attire inappropriate as well.

Armenta’s mother, however, said on her Facebook page this week there was simply no need for the outrage … explaining the boy’s face paint actually consisted of both black and red colors — in order to match his favorite team’s hues.

As for the headdress, she said Holden is Native American.

“People are ridiculous,” Shannon Armenta wrote in one post.

She also shared a few other snaps of Holden from the game … and said, “Everyone asked to take a photo with him.”

“The players even loved it!”

Holden’s dad added on his Facebook page that his son is simply “The biggest Fan” of the Chiefs.
