Turns out, there's more to the Florida toddler soccer story, and you should be livid at the people responsible for misleading people about it. The league director, who is Black, called the non-emergency line because the kids *mother* was following him around the field while yelling, cursing and calling him names AFTER they were repeatedly asked to leave. He wanted an officer to explain she was not allowed to return the field in the future (trespass warning) and let them know they were refunding the money because he didn't want to interact with her directly... again because she was harassing him and live-streaming it because they benched her son so other children could play. Turns out this little star's parents were shouting and calling other children losers, shouting the score at other parents, and upsetting the kids. The point of soccer at that age isn't to win. Most don't even keep score. The kid is magic, but it was his parents who caused the problem, and it wasn't racially motivated. People who weaponize these stories and straight up lie to people need to be held accountable, because when people actually do racist things (every damn day), people looking for excuses will dismiss it with "just like that soccer story, huh." sports.yahoo.com/articles/91…
