America yet again falls for a ginned-up fake race-baiting story with the help of Ms. Rachel
Parents are undefeated when it comes to ruining youth sports.But we have first ballot hall of shamers in the parents of 3-year-old soccer player Nevada Pierre.As the viral story went, the Florida tot — who is black — was so darn good at soccer that people on the sidelines called the police on the wunderkind.Ah, yes, America — where our budding elite athletes are sent to gulags and their playing time managed by the po-po.I recall LeBron James’ many stories about being detained for dominating his middle school AAU games.If you believed that cockamamie tale circulating all over social media the last few days, it’s time to look yourself in the mirror and give that gullible mug staring back at you a few well-deserved slaps.
And if you believed it because you heard it from Miss Rachel, who has never led anyone astray on complicated news stories, give yourself two more slaps.Thinking she could spin it as an example of racial injustice, the kiddie-focused YouTuber took to Instagram, calling the incident “racist, sick, traumatizing, and disgusting.”The “black boy,” she wrote, was “kicked out of the league ..
.because he’s too good.” Miss Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, then stated the obvious: she doesn’t know much about sports.
“But the World Cup and all famous soccer players need to show up for this amazing 3 year old and shower him with love and an awesome experience.”Miss Rachel needs to be showered with a damn clue.The real reason poor Nevada is no longer in the league is pretty simple.
His parents reportedly acted like entitled jerks during a i9 league game in Winter Park on Saturday.The league director, Thomas Hayes, who is also black, said he took their son out to give other kids some minutes.Hayes also said Nevada was pushing other players, so he asked the referee to correct him.This is early youth sports 101: all the kids get to play and coaches and refs try to correct bad behaviors before they become bad habits...
