Police were called on a Black father in Florida after a white woman deemed he was “threatening” for yelling instructions at his son during a soccer game.

In a Facebook post, by user, Ginger Williams wrote that a woman at her son’s soccer game this past Sunday in Ponte Vedra, Florida, started to harass a father after he yelled“the ref is right!” during his son’s soccer game according to Yahoo.

“SOCCER WHILE BLACK. A parent at my son’s soccer game had the police called on him for cheering for his son during the game. This man was simply trying to watch his son’s soccer game and cheer for him from the sides. He yelled “The ref is right!” when he saw his kid out there getting frustrated after a call. This woman, lets call her Golfcart Gail, decided to spring into action and rapidly approach this parent and remind him that harassment would not be tolerated. He informed her that he was only speaking to his son. For whatever reason, Golfcart Gail just would not let this go” Williams wrote.

Williams added that the father said he would leave to avoid an altercation but the woman supposedly “informed him that she was calling the police because she no longer felt safe with his threatening behavior” according to Yahoo.

This incident is just one out of many situations where white people have called the police on Black people for simply living.

Spokesperson Chuck Mulligan for the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Department, tells PEOPLE that deputies got the woman’s call around 4 p.m. local time. Mulligan said the woman on the golf cart, a field marshal, reported that two parents were arguing.

President of the Ponte Vedra Athletic Association Gary Easom said that a different father had been ejected from the game earlier for being verbally abusive to the teenage referees, according to First Coast News.

Easom told NBC News in a statement that “authorities were not called solely for this particular incident, but as a result of a culmination of several immediate prior incidents.”

Easom also added if attendees do not heed staff warnings, “staff is left with no choice but to call law enforcement. That is an extreme circumstance which seldom occurs, but that is exactly what happened in this situation.”
