Police were called to a soccer game in Winter Park, Florida, after a video of 3-year-old player Nevada, who was playing in the i9 Sports league at MLK Jr. Park, went viral after a staff member reported a disturbance to police. His mother, Lisa Griffin, has spoken about how the sudden attention surrounding the incident has affected her son, Nevada, and how it has changed his outlook on playing soccer. She believes that Nevada understands what went wrong after police showed up and that the incident traumatized him. Griffin also addressed criticism online about whether the family is trying to benefit financially from the viral moment. A GoFundMe campaign connected to the family has raised over $40,000 and former World Cup player Eddie Johnson has offered to train Nevada.
