The sports league, i9 Sports, announced it is conducting a formal review of the incident to understand the circumstances fully.In fullOutrage after cops are called for 3-year-old who is ‘too good at soccer’More bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
