Story summary

On October 26, 2026, police were called to a Winter Park, Florida youth soccer field for an incident involving a 3-year-old named Nevada, who reportedly scored multiple goals in his i9 Sports league game. The police report indicates that the league director, Thomas Hayes, made a 911 call due to disruptive behavior by Nevada's parents during the match. According to some reports, Nevada was barred from future games based on this incident and received a refund for remaining sessions. However, both the boy’s mother and a CBS News correspondent argue that the real issue stemmed from other parents being upset about Nevada’s skill level. The viral video has drawn significant public outrage over the handling of the situation by league officials and law enforcement.
