 An attendant at a teen soccer game in Florida over the weekend called police on a father who instructed his son from the sidelines, in what many are saying is the latest example of a white person dialing 911 on a black person who had done nothing wrong. 
 
 Ginger Williams, who was watching the game, posted photos of the incident to Facebook on Sunday with the heading "Soccer While Black." She said a woman in a golf cart at the game in St. Johns County told a black father that "harassment won't be tolerated," even though he had been directing his son to listen to the referee. 
 
 Chuck Mulligan, a spokesman for the St. Johns County Sheriff's Department, said the woman who called police, being dubbed "Golfcart Gail," is a field marshal. 
 
 The father informed the marshal that he was only speaking to his son and not the referee, which is not allowed, but "Golfcart Gail just would not let this go," Williams wrote. 
 
 The father, whose identity has not been revealed, began to leave in an effort to defuse the situation, Williams said, but the woman in the golf cart still called police saying, "she no longer felt safe with his threatening behavior." 
 
 Maria Morales-Walther filmed the encounter in which the father tells the field marshal, "I wasn’t talking to you. ... I was talking to my son, and I still get this from you." 
 
 Morales-Walter said when deputies arrived, the woman told them that the father "was being aggressive and 'coming at' her," but "in my video, that was the most aggression he showed." 
 
 "I started filming because she would not leave the father alone," Morales-Walter told NBC News. "There was no reason for her to call the cops," she said, adding that the woman had not identified herself as a field attendant of any kind. 
 
 Another video, shot by Ginger Williams, shows two St. Johns County deputies arrive at the game. 
 
 The father explained to one of them that he did nothing wrong. "I was talking to my son, no one else ... Listen I play by the rules. I know how sports are," the father says. 
 
 "I don’t understand why this woman felt the need to call the police on this man," Williams can be heard saying in the video as she films. The officer tells her that "anybody can call the police at any time for any reason. We'll respond." 
 
 Williams wrote in her Facebook post that the field marshal had not called police on a parent who had been "ejected from this game" due to a "disturbance." 
 
 Gary Easom, president of the Ponte Vedra Athletic Association, the athletic association the field marshal works for, said 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" at the game. 
 
 Those incidents included a parent being kicked out of the game for being verbally abusive to the teenage referees, and another parent getting scolded for cursing in the stands, Easom told NBC affiliate WTLV. 
 
 "I have parents that are out of control and need to be removed from a youth soccer game," the field marshal can be heard in audio from the 911 call telling a dispatcher. 
 
 Easom said if game attendees "behave badly" after 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," he added. "Our team acted appropriately to protect the children." 
 
 The deputy eventually told the father that he had no reason to detain him, to which the field marshal responds: "Good, I didn't want anything like that done." 
 
 Mulligan, the spokesman for the sheriff's department, said the department gets about 40 disturbance calls a day, and is obligated to respond. He said the officers spoke with those remaining at the game, and "found that there was no crime whatsoever." 
 
 The situation was one of three in a week in which white people have been recorded and shamed on social media for calling police or claiming to call police on black people who are going about their daily routines. 
 
 Last Wednesday, a woman in New York City said she was calling police after accusing a 9-year-old of grabbing her backside. Surveillance footage showed he hadn't. And on Friday, a black man filmed as a white woman tried to block him from getting into his apartment building because she didn't believe he lived there. He said officers showed up to his apartment after he proved to her that he did. ||||| St. Johns County deputies were called on a father during a teenage recreation soccer league game in Ponte Vedra over the weekend. 
 
 A witness named Ginger Williams recorded some of the incident on her cell phone and posted it to her Facebook page headlining it "SOCCER WHILE BLACK." She also dubbed the field marshal who called the police "Golfcart Gail" because she approached the father while riding in a golf cart. 
 
 UPDATE: New video shows Ponte Vedra's 'Golfcart Gail' calling police on soccer dad during child's game 
 
 Williams said the father was only speaking to his son about a call the ref made and when he attempted to leave to diffuse the situation, the field marshal called police. 
 
 Williams' Facebook post continues to spread with people alleging that this is yet another case in a disturbing national trend of people trying to weaponize police against a person of color. 
 
 Gary Easom, president of the Ponte Vedra Athletic Association, said the incident is being mischaracterized on social media and is more about parents behaving badly while watching their child play soccer.

 During this particular game, the players were 15 years old. Easom said a father had already been ejected for being verbally abusive to the high school aged referees. He also said a mother was scolded for using profanity in the stands. 
 
 Easom, who was not at the game, said the field marshal reported the incidents to him. "This happens more times than I would like," he said, adding that police are usually not called. 
 
 The father the field marshal called police on told deputies he was simply coaching his son up. "I told him 'Hey, the ref is always right,'" he's heard telling the deputies on Williams' video. 
 
 Easom said parents are not supposed to approach their children during the game. 
 
 The father also said he had taken responsibility for the child whose parent had been thrown out earlier. He said when he attempted to leave he told the other parents to make sure his son and the other child of the earlier-ejected parent would be transported home because he had to leave due to the confrontation with the field marshal. 
 
 Williams said the father attempted to leave because of the altercation, but the field marshal called police anyway. 
 
 St. Johns County deputies spoke with the father, the field marshal and Williams who said she videotaped the incident because she wanted to ensure the safety of the parent. 
 
 Deputies let the dad go and said they would not detain him. 
 
 "Good, I didn't want anything like that done," the field marshal says in the cell phone video. 
 
 One of the deputies on scene said to Williams that it is within the marshal's right to call the authorities and that he was there to diffuse the situation. ||||| JACKSONVILLE, Fl -- During a soccer game Sunday at Davis Park in St. Johns County a verbal confrontation between a parent and a field marshal turned into allegations of racial profiling. 
 
 The alleged incident happened off the field and portions were captured via cell phone. 
 
 Gerald Jones, the parent, said he was telling his son, who was playing with the visiting team from Oakleaf, that the referee is always right and to do what the referee says. 
 
 Jones said within moments he was confronted by a field marshal who was riding in a golf cart. 
 
 "Then she went, 'I am going to call the police,'" he said. 
 
 And she did. When St. Johns County Deputies showed up, he told them the same account of what happened. 
 
 But the cell phone recording of the field marshal's account to the deputy was different. 
 
 She was overheard saying, "He just got nasty with me." 
 
 Maria Walther was a witness to the incident. She was sitting next to Jones when it got out of control. 
 
 "He was pretty much telling her 'leave me alone, I am leaving I am grabbing my stuff,'" said Walther, "but that wasn't enough for her."

 The Navy wife told us she was also thrown out of the game because she refused to stop recording the incident. 
 
 Walther said, "She was barking at him, 'You can't be yelling at the ref' and he said 'Ma'am, I am talking to my son,' and she said, 'I don't care who you are talking to.'" 
 
 Walther said earlier that day, the same field marshal threw out another parent who was shouting at the referee, who is white, but had a different tone with the black parent. 
 
 "She was more aggressive," said Walther, "It was, 'I am going to call the cops.'" 
 
 Gary Easom, President of the Ponte Vedra Athletic Association, said in a statement: 
 
 "The Ponte Vedra Palm Valley Athletic Association puts the welfare of children above all else. The PVAA Code of Conduct protects children in a number of ways, including the prohibition of inappropriate conduct such as berating referees, coaches or athletes, and "coaching" children from the sidelines. Unfortunately, parents sometimes violate the conduct code while watching games. When such violations occur, our staff addresses the violator or violators and ask that they behave appropriately. If, after warnings, the violators continue to behave badly, staff is left with no choice but to call law enforcement, consistent with county policy. That is an extreme circumstance which seldom occurs, but that is exactly what happened in this situation. The authorities were not called solely for this particular incident but as a result of a culmination of several immediate prior incidents. The field marshal acted appropriately and without malice to ensure the welfare of the children she is charged with protecting. Unfortunately, an incomplete narrative of this incident was posted and sensationalized, creating a wholly inaccurate and irresponsible version with little relation to what actually happened that day. It was an unfortunate incident and I am sorry it happened, but our team acted appropriately to protect the children, consistent with our organizational mission." 
 
 Was it perception or was Jones racially profiled? Jones is convinced it is the latter. 
 
 Ironically he is the father of a biracial child who witnessed the entire incident. 
 
 "I spoke with my son," said Jones. "He is biracial. What is he supposed to mark? White or black? It is too much, when will it end." 
 
 On Your Side contacted the Florida Elite Soccer Club which oversees the teams, we have yet to hear from the club. 
 
 Jones said the club and the field marshal owe him an apology.
– We've had "Cornerstone Caroline," "Pool Patrol Paula," and "BBQ Becky." Now: "Golfcart Gail." That's the nickname given by Ginger Williams to a woman she says was at her son's soccer game in Ponte Vedra, Fla., this weekend, harassing a black dad cheering his son on. Williams' Sunday Facebook post—titled "Soccer While Black"—shows a pic of the unnamed woman, on her phone in a golf cart, allegedly making a call about a man Williams says was simply shouting out instructions to his son. The dad simply "yelled 'The ref is right' when he saw his kid out there getting frustrated after a call," Williams notes. That apparently set "Gail" off, and she told the dad "harassment won't be tolerated" and "continued to harass and beleaguer him." NBC News explains talking to the ref in a game isn't permitted, but Williams writes the man explained he was talking to his own son. He finally offered to just leave to defuse the situation, Williams adds, at which point "Golfcart Gail" said she was still calling the cops "because she no longer felt safe with his threatening behavior." (NBC News also has some video.) A rep for the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office says the woman in the golf cart is an athletic association field marshal, and the head of that group says the cops were called not just because of that dad, "but as a result of a culmination of several immediate prior incidents" at the game, including a mom who was cursing and another dad who'd been ejected for being verbally abusive, per WTLV. Deputies didn't detain the father from Williams' post, IDed as Gerald Jones. He's not so sure it wasn't a racially spurred incident and says the field marshal and the soccer club owe him an apology, reports WTLV. (Remember "Permit Patty"?)
