Giants Fan Apologizes for Snatching Mahomes Headband as Chiefs Locate 10-Year-Old Recipient

Chiefs ownership says it found the boy after a TV apology that included a pledge to return the headband.

Overview

  • The Sept. 21 incident at MetLife Stadium showed Patrick Mahomes reaching to give his headband to a child before a nearby Giants fan took it.
  • The fan was identified as Nina Miller and the child as 10-year-old Chiefs supporter Joey Masters, who was heard saying, "Yo, she just stole that from me."
  • Miller apologized to Masters in a segment on Inside Edition, telling him she would send the headband back and hearing him respond, "I believe you."
  • Tavia Hunt, wife of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, said she located the boy after asking for help online and teased "surprises ensuing," with no specifics announced.
  • Before apologizing, Miller posted a defiant TikTok defending the grab, and coverage has drawn comparisons to a recent Phillies fan dispute that led to team-arranged gifts.
