Delaware judge allows defamation lawsuit against Deadspin over article accusing 9-year-old of racism.

A Delaware judge has denied Deadspin's motion to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by California residents Raul and Shannon Armenta on behalf of their 9-year-old son, Holden. The lawsuit stems from an article accusing Holden of racism due to his game-day attire, which included a Chiefs jersey, face paint, and a Native American headdress. The judge ruled that Deadspin's claims were provably false assertions of fact and allowed the lawsuit to proceed.
