NOW HOW IN THE WORLD DOES A 3-YEAR-OLD END UP WITH THE POLICE BEING CALLED TO HIS SOCCER GAME?! 😡⚽ A little boy named Nevada, who is ONLY THREE YEARS OLD, was reportedly playing soccer in Winter Park, Florida, in an i9 Sports youth league with children who were FIVE YEARS OLD! Now, from what his family is saying, this baby was so good at soccer that the older children were having a hard time getting the ball away from him! And instead of the adults celebrating this child's talent, encouraging their own children to practice, or simply allowing these babies to ENJOY THE GAME, some parents allegedly started complaining! They claimed he was hogging the ball and trying to show off! SHOWING OFF?! HE'S THREE YEARS OLD!! 😳 What was he supposed to do? Stop playing because somebody else's child couldn't get the ball?! And here's where this story gets even more ridiculous...according to Nevada's family, the situation escalated to the point that POLICE WERE CALLED, the league issued a trespass notice, and officers escorted the family off the soccer field! OVER A CHILD PLAYING SOCCER?! Now, I don't know every detail of what happened that day, and I certainly want to hear the league's explanation. But if things happened the way this family is describing, somebody has some serious explaining to do! WHEN DID ADULTS BECOME SO COMPETITIVE THAT WE FORGOT THESE ARE CHILDREN?! Everybody's child isn't going to be the fastest! Everybody's child isn't going to score the most goals! Everybody's child isn't going to be the best player on the field! AND THAT'S OKAY!! That's part of sports! You win some, you lose some, you practice, you improve, and most importantly, YOU LEARN SPORTSMANSHIP! What you DON'T do is teach children that when somebody is better than them, the solution is to complain until that child is removed! And what really bothers me is the possibility of what this experience could do to that little boy. At THREE YEARS OLD, he should be thinking about kicking soccer balls, running around with his teammates, and having fun! Not wondering why police officers are escorting his family away from a place where he was supposed to feel safe and welcomed! His family says they received a refund for their registration. But let me tell y'all something...EVERYTHING ISN'T FIXED WITH A REFUND! You cannot put a dollar amount on a child's experience, confidence, or love for something they enjoy doing! And I also have to wonder whether this little boy was treated differently because of who he is. That's a fair question to ask, but one that deserves answers rather than assumptions. As adults, we are supposed to be teaching children how to handle disappointment, how to celebrate other people's accomplishments, and how to keep trying when somebody is better at something than they are! WE SHOULD BE BUILDING CHILDREN UP, NOT TEARING THEM DOWN BECAUSE THEIR TALENT MAKES SOMEBODY ELSE UNCOMFORTABLE! I sincerely hope the full circumstances of this incident come to light, because this family deserves answers. And to little Nevada, baby, I hope you NEVER lose your love for soccer! ⚽❤️ #LetKidsBeKids #YouthSports #Sportsmanship #Nevada #WinterParkFlorida - @caseless6969
