Police were called after a dispute involving the parents of a three-year-old player at a soccer game in Florida over the weekend. The boy’s parents can be heard on police body cameras saying their son, Nevada, had been kicked out because he was too good at soccer and was embarrassing the other children. However, an organizer at the game said Nevada had pushed other children and his parents had become argumentative when their son was taken out the game.
In police body camera footage the organizer of the event, who works for i9 Sports, a youth sports group, can be heard saying Nevada’s parents had caused a disturbance. Really good,” the organizer says in the footage. But he’s pushing the kids ...
So, I try to tell him, don’t push; we want to play without pushing, right?” Nevada’s parents posted a clip of their son at the event in which he can be seen dribbling around older children with ease. The video has since gone viral. Nevada cannot be seen pushing any other children in the footage posted by his parents.
They’re literally kicking him out of this place because he’s good at soccer,” his mother says in the body camera footage. Immediately,” the organizer told police. The family was cooperative with the officers,” the department wrote in a statement on its website.
We have reached out to the family and have begun a review that includes speaking with those involved. While we work to understand the circumstances, we will not speculate or share unverified information. We appreciate everyone who has brought their concerns to our attention.” One officer appeared to want to see more of Nevada though.
I bet he’s good,” he can be heard saying to another officer on body camera.
