Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, October 28, 2026

Viral video of police being called to a youth soccer game near Orlando, Florida, is drawing outrage, with some claiming the cops showed up because a 3-year-old child was too good, while the league's director says the call was made because the parents were being disruptive. No one disputes that 3-year-old Nevada, who can be seen in several videos dominating on the pitch against kids one and two years older than him, is a soccer phenom. One of the directors of the youth league Nevada was playing in told the cops when they arrived, "The kid is very good ... He's great. Really good."

She is seen in the body camera video saying they always stand on the opposite side of the field as the other parents to avoid causing any disruption.

"They're literally kicking him out of this place because he's good at soccer," she told the police.

In one video of the incident taken by the family, Nevada's father is heard saying, "They called the police on a 3-year-old because he's too good."

Nevada's mother told CBS News the coach told Nevada he could stay in his most recent game if he passed the ball, but about halfway through, the cops got involved. She said in the bodycam video that she saw the other parents huddle in a circle talking about him during the game.
