A three-year-old boy named Nevada was so good at football against five-year-olds in Winter Park, Florida, that the police were called and his family was escorted off the pitch in front of other children.
His offence? He kept the ball for too long. Grown racist adults complained that their five-year-olds could not get the ball off a toddler. The league then served his family with a trespass notice.
This is 2026. A Black child who should be celebrated as a rare talent is instead treated as a threat. Had he been white, he would be on every television channel as the next great star of the game.
Imagine what would have happened to this little boy a hundred years ago.
