Giants Fan Wants to Return Mahomes’ Headband on National TV

MetLife Stadium, New Jersey — Nina Miller, the Giants fan infamous for taking Patrick Mahomes‘ headband from a 10-year-old boy, is asking to return the item publicly on television. In a TikTok video posted on October 1, Miller addressed critics of her actions and expressed a desire to make amends.

The controversy began on September 21, when Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, handed his game-worn headband to Joey Masters, who was celebrating his birthday. Footage captured Miller snatching the headband as Joey appeared shocked.

Public backlash followed, leading Miller to release an apology on TikTok. “”At the game, with all the noise and excitement, I honestly thought that Pat Mahomes was giving me the headband,”” she explained in a video. “”I reached for it without thinking, and when I found out, I felt horrible.””

Miller has since claimed she wants to return the headband directly to Joey, preferably on a program like Good Morning America. “”When I give back the headband, are you guys gonna believe me?”” she asked, voicing her frustration over the continued criticism.

She also mentioned having a few older regular viewers who had been more supportive than the younger audience that has flooded her comments with critiques. Miller stated, “”I’m not perfect, but I’m also a mom. I’m admitting when I’m wrong and trying to make what I did wrong right.””

Despite her attempts to clarify her intentions, netizens remain skeptical. Comments have ranged from labeling her a thief to suggestions that she may be insincere in her apology. As the debate continues, her plea for a national televised return of the headband remains unfulfilled.
