Ok so, sure, other parents seem to have escalated things in a dumb way, but… for the rest of his life, this kid can say “I was so good at soccer they called the police on me… when I was 3.”
It would be hilarious if he grows up and completely stops playing or just is shit at it.
Why would that be hilarious?
My neighbor called the police when my dog chased their cat…in my backyard. I got off with a warning.
Were they at least told to keep their cat inside? Or on their own property?!?
Cats are free to roam here. He wasn’t a nice guy to begin with. He was renting and I own so…problem solved.
they really shouldnt, cats on the outside are likely to live shorter lives than indoor cats.
This is a VERY rural area. Population 3.000.
When my “outside” cat passed (cancer), the vet had 17 years of medical history on him.
I live next to a highway. That cat would cross the highway to get mice in the field.
I’m the one who called the cops. You guys don’t understand just how good this toddler is, someone had to do something
Don’t you know about cops killing black people though. They could have showed up and thought that little 3 year old boy was going to kick a soccer ball at them.
Or an acorn could have fallen on a car, causing them to shoot the place up.
Home boys gonna fucking roll more than he has since he played sonic in the 90s.
If those cops ever live that down…
I thought it was obvious, but /s for the aforementioned comment you’re replying to.
Edit, I read half your reply when I replied. It seems I’m the one with egg on my face
If you want this kid in black and white stripes, call Juventes.
Are people really that stupid in the usa?
also very racist in varying degrees.
A lot of white people are.
The Karens will always do Karen shit.
The police could have used common sense but elected not to.
You expect police to not needlessly use their power? This is a country were SWATing is so easy there is a term for it and so common that it doesn’t get investigated.
The article makes it (slightly) less bad. 3 year old was kicked out of a 5 year old league for being too good and ruining competitive balance. The kid’s parents took it badly and would not leave until police intervened.
Most team sports don’t ban star players
Although i have seen a show called Ted Lasso where the coach put him on the bench for hogging the ball.
The article says multiple substitutions. Wonder what the coach’s role was in the whole thing.
Most youth leagues dont do substitutions like pros do, they swap out every quarter or so. The goal is to have the kids play about equally, or else parents lose their shit that their kid sat on the bench the whole game.
It’s a toddler fun league. The league has specific rules about it not being competitive and sharing play time.
The kids parents are wannabe influencers filming everything for TikTok.
Nobody called the cops on a kid for being too good. They called the cops on the parents because they were asked to leave over their stupid social media stunts, and then they refused.
12-15 years from now we may start to hear of an up and comer in the soccer leagues, and someone will rediscover his early roots.
just kidding. we’ll have destroyed ourselves long before this delightful and skillful little boys dreams come true.
White people intuitively understanding how cops are there to protect white supremacy even though when asked directly they’ll deny it and call themselves allies of black people
Messi was like that when he was an adolescent. Theres video of him just tearing it up as the smallest kid in the game
The future looks bright for little Nevada
Wow, those other parents are total pieces of shit.
If my kid was playing with baby Messi? I would still want them to have a chance to play. This is fucking kids soccer - there’s no money on it. Good for the kid at being a god, but my kid can’t get good if she doesn’t have a chance to play.
Edit: calling the cops was wrong. I cannot believe anybody thought that was a good idea.
lol
Take your kid to a different league, what are the cops even doing here?
Something that can be remedied without involving armed law enforcement. Maybe the coach could do their job and make sure all the kids get at least some chance to play?
Yes, this. Fucking idiots bringing cops into it boggles the mind.
we all know that playing against people of the same level makes you better… You are just teaching your kid to find the shallowest pool to play in. How dare they be exposed to the idea that someone is better and maybe this is just all for learning.
Kid was playing against other kids 2 years older. I dare say they learned. And again, bringing cops into was beyond anything imaginable and wrong. But this should’ve been a learning opportunity, not “hey, let’s endanger a kid for playing soccer while black.”
Listening to the parent talking in the video it sounds like there was past history between the kid’s parents and the other parents and that there was at least an altercation between them after someone said something the kid’s parent didn’t like. This seems to be the real reason behind the parents being kicked out and the cops ultimately called. But of course, the parent who released the video edited all those parts out to make it sound they’re kicking the kid out for being too good. Feel bad for the kid though. That wasn’t his fault.
AOL Keyword: Uppity.
Look into it.
You are very articulate.
What an articulate young man! Pinches cheek
This reads like copium, a milder variant of the racism that this family was subjected to.
There may have been more to the story but nothing that warranted police involvement. There’s a league administration to deal with any such matters.
The article claims that the game was being live streamed, others could/would have reported any real infractions had there actually been anything to report.
What I can tell for sure is that the article reports the kid’s parents side of the story and their side only. They obviously make the claim that the cops were called because their kid was too good at the sport. The video they edited opens up with the father saying that. But if you read between the lines of what they tell the cop afterwards it is clear that there was a clash between the parents before the cops were called and the article fails to even mention that. If there is recorded footage of the events somewhere whoever wrote that article couldn’t find it, just like they couldn’t find anyone else who was there to tell what they see happened.
This is far from being high-end investigative journalism and I’m pointing that out.
The only thing we can deduce with some decent level of certainty is that it is the league that fucked up first. Kids are usually grouped by skill level to avoid things like that and they failed to correct that situation for quite some time it seems.
Even paw patrol shouldn’t bother for petty bench fights. But since black folks were involved, officers smelled blood.
they realy just dint want a black kid make a white kid look bad, plus racist parents.
Cop could have just said “Are you for real? Did you really waste police resources on this?”
They trespassed the kid, so the police had no choice but to escort him out. Which absolutely is a waste of police resources, but is also perfectly legal and follows the process.
In more reasonable countries, nobody can trespass you from a football field, unless you give them a very good reason like repeated physical assault.
Who trespassed the kid? Like I know it says “the league” but the league obviously didn’t have any meeting or come to a consensus in time to make that decision.
No, they trespassed his loud mouth wannabe influencer parents.
And followed up with a ticket. This happened at work when some teen tried to fax and couldnt figure out dialing out over 9 or 1. Somehow faxed 9911Xxxxxx so the fax called the police. They showed up and fined us for the waste of time.
GUARANfuckingTEED to be the same parents who won’t shut the fuck up about participation trophies, how kids these days are too soft, and how nobody deserves anything they haven’t earned through white-approved work. Always preaching meritocracy, personal responsibility, and how losing builds character. Fucking snowflakes.
Where was the coach for this game? Why weren’t people talking to him about a solution?
The ‘coach’ is probably a volunteer (or more likely a voluntold) with no training or authority if it is anything like what goes on around me. Where I am, they’d be lucky if the coach has played soccer before.
The article is down. Threadiverse death hug?
A family says police escorted them and their 3-year-old son off an i9 Sports youth soccer field in Winter Park after the league issued a trespass, following complaints from opposing parents that the boy held the ball too much and was “trying to put on a show.”
The incident, captured in video the family posted to TikTok under the handle @nevadaney10 and later shared widely, shows the child — identified by his parents as Nevada — playing in a league with kids roughly two years older. According to the family’s accounts in the video and related posts, he dominated possession, was substituted multiple times in a roughly 30-minute game, and still scored multiple goals (the family cited 10 in one game). Opposing parents are heard complaining that the play was unfair.
“They really called the police on a 3 year old because he had the ball too much,” the father said in the circulating video. The mother is heard responding to parents gathered nearby: “Those grown ups huddled up talking about my son… but he ain’t doing nothing but playing soccer.”
The family states that the league banned them from the field via a trespass notice and that officers then escorted them away in front of the other children. They say they later received a refund for the 2026 fall soccer league registration. The original video notes that the game was being live-streamed on TikTok, so other viewers saw the sequence in real time.
Police called on 3 year old Black boy—for being “too good” at soccer.
Officers escorted his family away in front of all the other kids.

Nevada has previously drawn attention online for skill clips and goal highlights posted by the same account, with some videos circulating on accounts such as House of Highlights and ESPN FC. Family posts describe a pattern of the 3-year-old excelling against older children in the league, which they say prompted repeated complaints about fairness.
i9 Sports, which operates youth leagues, camps, and clinics for children ages 3 and up in sports including soccer, has not issued a public statement on the incident. Local police have also not released information confirming details of any call or escort. The family’s video and posts remain the primary public record of what occurred.
The episode has prompted online discussion about age-group rules, competitive balance in recreational youth leagues, and the decision to involve law enforcement at a game involving a preschool-aged player.
I’m going to wait for more details before I get worked up about this. Not gonna take the word of a family of influencers.
