[quote=Anonymous]This has been bothering me for a while but a friend alerted me to a video of the Karen accusing a minority teen of taking her iphone which got me thinking more about how wrong this is. My 13-year-old child was leaving soccer practice in the fall one evening when a man walked up, grabbed DC's ball out DC's hands and started yelling. My child was pretty scared because it was dark, the man was so large, so close and don't forget the coronavirus. DC's coaches don't even come that close during practice. DC doesn't remember the words but basically the man was accusing DC of stealing this man's child's ball. This happened in that order. The man did not ask to see the ball. The man took it. It is a very popular ball that is sold everywhere right now. DC said DC pointed out our last name on the ball at which point the man threw the ball back and walked away. No apology was given. DC was shaking when DC got to the car. DC is a minority and the man was white. I have been debating telling the coach this happened but I do not know who this man is. This is not a parent of one of DC's teammates but probably another team practicing in th same area.

Is it worth it to talk to the coach? What can the coach even do in this case? [/quote]
