A crazy story made the rounds the other day, but anyone not in a coma instantly realized it had to be fake.

The children's host Ms. Rachel told the world, "
The police were called on a 3-year-old Black boy because he's too good at soccer.... I'm LIVID!"

Let's stop right there. How tone deaf would you have to be to think the police were called because a 3-year-old boy was too good at soccer?

"Yes, police? We've got a boy here, and he's just too good at soccer. You're going to need to dispatch someone, pronto."

Nothing about that scenario is telling you that maybe you don't have the full story?

But of course that didn't stop Ms. Rachel from calling the situation "
racist, sick, traumatizing and disgusting."

Back on planet Earth, here's what actually happened.


The i9 Sports league director called the police to report an "unruly parent" who was causing a sideline disturbance. He did not call to say, "I've got a 3-year-old boy in my league who is just too good. Please send an officer, and he'll probably need backup."

The game being played was for beginners -- they're three years old, after all. The boy in question was pushing the other children, and being much too aggressive for the kind of league it is.

The parents had been bragging on social media about the 40 goals their child scored -- in a league without goalies.

The parents kept him in that league for another year, where he obviously didn't belong. And sure, he scored a lot of goals, but as the league director says, "H
e scored a lot of goals, but he pushed the kids to do that.... So I tried to tell him. Hey, stop!" The director tried to stop the pushing: "Don't let him push."

So then, the day of the incident, the boy was pushing again, the director intervened, and the parents became disruptive. On top of that,
 in violation of league rules, the parents were livestreaming the game. Other parents wanted the league rules followed, and didn't want their kids all over the Internet.

These small details were left out of the "the police were called because the boy was too good" story.

This league director explains to the officer what actually happened:

The parents have a GoFundMe running, because why wouldn't they, and Ms. Rachel invited the boy on her show. Will she ask about the pushing or the live-streaming? You already know the answer.

Ms. Rachel, I am sad to report, is a robot, and her robotic responses can be predicted every time.

Something happens involving a black family and police? Why, it must be "racism," and she doesn't need any details. That's her robot response.

In light of an event I'm hosting today, however, I feel compelled to note that there are good robots, too.

The guy who coaches my top people, Paul Counts of my Elite Mastermind, has in short order built in effect a team of robots -- GrokBots, specifically -- that while he's driving around running errands are knocking out hours and hours of drudgery for him.

Most people are using AI to ask for recipes or look things up; Paul is having them do jobs for him. Totally different use, and one that makes his life drastically easier.

He is constantly telling me about new ways he's taking things off his plate.

Well, I think this year I've proven beyond a doubt that my free webinars are extremely valuable, and today we're doing one in which Paul shows you exactly how he does this.

Lightbulbs will go off, and if you do not gasp at least once, I owe you a Coke. We start in a few hours, so register right away:
