Police officers reportedly escorted a Black three-year-old soccer player and his family off a field in Winter Park, Florida, after parents of opposing players complained that their children could not get the ball away from him.
The toddler, identified as Nevada, was playing in an i9 Sports youth soccer league against children aged five when the incident occurred.
According to his family, the league removed him from the programme because he repeatedly dominated games, prompting complaints from parents who felt the matches were unfair.
The family shared the incident on TikTok through their account, Nevadaney10, claiming the league issued them a trespass notice before police escorted them away from the field in front of other children.
“They really called the police on a 3-year-old because he had the ball too much,” Nevada’s father said in the video.
Some opposing parents reportedly accused the toddler of trying to “put on a show”, while his mother defended him, saying he was simply playing soccer.
“Those grown-ups huddled up talking about my son… but he ain’t doing nothing but playing soccer,” she said.

Wow... are these people for real??? Calling the police on an innocent toddler... Even the police should be ashamed of yielding to such a call. Jobless policemen. They should come to Nigeria. Work plenty here
