Police called on 3-year-old soccer player for being “too good”
Why call police over a youth soccer game? ABC7's anchors ask much the same question in the channel's most watched new upload of the week, a brief Florida report titled "Police called on 3-year-old soccer player for being "too good"".
The segment reports that complaints about a young player's skills and ball-hogging led to a police call, with the child and family eventually escorted off the field. His mother counters that children that young generally don't pass anyway. The studio conversation lands on the distinction between a disagreement on the sidelines and something requiring police intervention.
That report has passed two million views and remains the channel's most active upload. But ABC7's 36-upload week also had a distinctly Southern California focus: high tides flooded Sunset Beach streets and forced Pacific Coast Highway closures, while successive forecasts warned of rain arriving for Halloween. Those weather updates now sit alongside the soccer report among the channel's strongest sources of daily viewing.
Across the catalog, ABC7 collected roughly 15 million views over the week, the largest weekly total among the nearby local-news channels. KTLA 5 also had a substantial week, while WFAA's daily viewing was running well above its usual level. ABC7's subscriber count held steady, even as its daily views rose to nearly twice their typical pace.
The Florida story supplied the week's biggest new audience; closer to home, the forecast uploads gave viewers a practical question to answer before heading out: how wet would the weekend be?
