Florida's Messi-like 3-year-old makes rival parents call 911 during game
Apparently, being too good at a sport can lead to less playing time for a child.
There really is such a thing as being too good for a sport. Nevada Pierre , a three-year-old based in Central Florida, found that out the hard way recently. Pierre now has over 1 million followers on Instagram and 1.5 million on TikTok, as he's gone viral for an incident involving his parents.
During a rec league soccer match held by i9 Sports in Winter Park, Florida , a heated discussion unfolded between Pierre's parents and the league director. The director proceeded to call 911, due to a parent, Pierre's mother, being "really, really disruptive" . The three-year-old's parents were upset because Pierre's playing time was being limited, simply due to him being so much better than the other kids .
Nevada Pierre is now a social media legend following league chaos
Police arrived to de-escalate the situation, but ultimately Pierre's parents have decided to move on from the league. They can't believe a child would be hamstrung by an entire league for being elite at the sport at such a young age . The league is tailored for five-year-olds, but the three-year-old Pierre was dominating them.
The league is dealing with severe backlash following the incident. Nevada's mother, Martasia , claimed that the incident with police "really traumatized" her son . She then confirmed they will look for another league for him to play in.
" He still wants to play soccer. He just doesn’t want to go back to that place. I don’t think that’s how he should be thinking, that as a 3-year-old he did something wrong ."
