Florida police called to 3-year-old’s soccer game

A mother says police were called because her three-year-old son kept the ball too long. The league's account centers on a disturbance. NBC News puts those differing explanations alongside footage from a youth soccer field in Winter Park, Florida.

The report, titled "Florida police called to 3-year-old's soccer game," moves from clips of the young player dribbling and scoring to the adults' exchanges with responding officers. His mother says the family stands apart from other parents to avoid conflict. The report also includes audio from the emergency call and bodycam footage of an officer hearing the league's explanation.

The Short drew an estimated 190,000 views in its first day, far beyond NBC News' usual start for that format. Its comment section was roughly twenty times as busy as usual. A separate NBC report on the same incident, featuring correspondent George Solis, also attracted an unusually large first-day audience.

But the police response has a less dramatic conclusion than the title might suggest. Officers treated the incident as a civil dispute, and the family left voluntarily. An officer wished them a better day as they departed. NBC reports that the league is reviewing the incident.
