The 10-year-old boy whose elation instantly turned to disappointment after Patrick Mahomes handed him a headband but saw it stolen from him by a woman dubbed the “NFL’s Phillies Karen” has broken his silence.
Joey Masters lives in New York but is a massive Chiefs fan. He got tickets to the team’s away game against the Giants from his mom for his 10th birthday last month and got to see them win their first game of the season.
The outing got even better after Mahomes headed his way following the 22-9 victory and handed him the headband. However, it was snatched from his hand, with a female making off with it, immediately prompting comparisons to the Phillies fan who abused a young boy and his father for a home run ball.
The whole thing was caught on camera, and the woman, who has since been ID’d as Nina Miller, a Giants fan, claimed the quarterback meant to give it to her in a subsequent video.

Joey spoke to KCTV5 this week, insisting he wants the item back.
“I just want that band back really bad,” he told the TV station.
“Patrick Mahomes walked over to me, locked eyes with me, tries to give me his headband and the woman just swoops in and snatches it from me.”
Joey said the game was his first after being a Chiefs fan for years. He was seated in the front row behind one of the end zones with his mother, Mindy, who was just as stunned as he was.
“It was such a great day,” she remarked, “The players were amazing with us, the fans were, and just to have one person swoop in and take that from him is heartbreaking for a mother to watch.”
Having endured plenty of criticism online, Miller put out another video in which she tried to explain her actions, saying she really was under the impression that Mahomes was bringing her the gear. However, she claimed to be eager to return the band to Joey, asking social media for help.
“At the game, with all the noise and all the excitement, I honestly thought that Pat Mahomes was giving me the headband. I reached for it without thinking,” she said.
Time will till whether or not she does the right thing.
