Facebook’Golf cart Gail’: Woman Calls Cops on Black Father at Soccer Game

A white woman in a golf cart, nicknamed “Golfcart Gail” by Internet users, went viral in a video when she tried to call the cops on a black man watching his child play soccer.

The situation unfolded at a soccer field in Ponte Vedra, Florida, and was recorded by one of the children’s mother, Ginger Galore William. She wrote in her Facebook caption, “A parent at my son’s soccer game had the police called on him for cheering for his son during the game.”

Apparently the event occurred after the father had yelled “The ref is right!” to his visibly frustrated child during the game. At that point, “Golfcart Gail” came over to tell the father that “harassment would not be tolerated.” Even when he insisted he was only encouraging his son, she continued to harass him, and told him she would not tolerate his “threatening behavior.”
