Woman Nicknamed 'Golfcart Gail' Calls Cops On Black Dad At His Son's Soccer Game

Woman Nicknamed 'Golfcart Gail' Calls Cops On Black Dad At His Son's Soccer Game

Welp, it's a day that ends in "why" "y," so there's a new white person in the "Calling the police on Black people for literally no reason" pantheon: Meet "Golfcart Gail."


The crime this time? Watching his kid play soccer. And also speaking while doing so, apparently.

It happened like this: A black gentleman in Ponte Verde, Florida was watching his child's soccer match when he saw his son become frustrated at a referee's call. He called out to his child, "The ref is right!" and that is the point at which Golfcart Gail had simply HAD ENOUGH. Sitting in the namesake golf cart in which she arrived, she called the police to report the father for harassment.

Fellow spectator Ginger Galore Williams posted a full account, including videos, to her Facebook page, titling it "SOCCER WHILE BLACK":




In her account, Williams said that the father offered to leave the game in order to avoid a conflict, and was packing up his belongings when Gail notified him that she was calling police because "she no longer felt safe with his threatening behavior."

Williams also stated that another parent had been ejected from the game earlier that day for causing a disturbance, resulting in a delay in the game--but no call to police. "Why weren't the police called? What was the difference?," Williams wrote. "I'll give you a guess."

For her part, Golfcart Gail's call seemed more motivated by the father's lack of willingness to further discuss the non-issue with her. Speaking to an officer, she says, "He got nasty with me," and tells him the father said, "I'm not talking to you anymore."

On social media, people were pretty firmly on the side of the father on the basis of what looks like clear racial bias:











Thankfully, after speaking with both Golfcart Gail and the dad, deputies told him "I don't have any reason to detain you."

In wrapping up her account of the incident, Williams no doubt speaks for scores of African-Americans in 2018: "Black lives matter. Don't ask me why I kneel."

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
