Ms Rachel pushes racism narrative in Florida soccer dispute involving 3-year-old prodigy

Children’s YouTube creator Ms. Rachel called it racist for police to respond to a Florida youth soccer game, where a Black league official said the parents of a 3-year-old player were causing a disturbance.

In an Instagram post, the pink headband radical political activist who is best known for entertaining toddlers with her "Songs for Littles," has donated thousands of dollars to liberal candidates during this election cycle. She's hopped on as many pet Liberal causes as she can find.

And then the headlines of the cops being called on the Black boy playing soccer started flooding in on social media.

MS RACHEL BUILDS SPRAWLING MEDIA EMPIRE WHILE SHELLING OUT THOUSANDS TO PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES

Ms. Rachel quickly declared she was "LIVID" over what she says is an incident where cops "were called on a 3-year-old Black boy because he's too good at soccer."

As OutKick has reported, the cops were not called to a Winter Park, Fla., soccer field because the boy named Nevada was too good at soccer. Bodycam footage obtained by OutKick shows an unidentified league official explaining to police how the boy's parents caused a "disturbance" after the official held the boy out of the game, so other kids could get game experience.

"He was kicked out of the league," Ms. Rachel, who's hailed as a champion of children, declared. "I need my sports people to show up!!! This is racist, sick, traumatizing and disgusting," she added.

Even with the bodycam footage readily available for her to watch, Ms. Rachel's statement remains on Instagram. OutKick reached out to Ms. Rachel to ask if she'd like to clarify her stance on the situation being an example of racism. Neither Ms. Rachel, nor her representatives at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), have responded.

Instead of correcting the record for the millions of fans she has on social media, Ms. Rachel quickly pivoted to posting a video claiming ICE broke the wrist of a 20-year-old student who has special needs.

What Ms. Rachel missed about the Florida soccer story, because she's not interested in hearing the truth, is that the parents of the boy were using him as a content factory for likes and followers on TikTok and Instagram, where Nevada was a star before Saturday's incident.

MOMS FOR LIBERTY CO-FOUNDER WARNS PARENTS ABOUT MS RACHEL’S POLITICAL ACTIVISM, ‘NOT MR ROGERS’

The kid was encouraged to dominate 5U beginner soccer kids by a father who yelled to keep the ball. The words "pass the ball" never come out of the father's mouth. There's no doubt that the boy is talented. "Nevada Missed 3 games this season and still ended the season with 40 goals in just 4 games," the parents bragged in a May Instagram post.

The family parlayed Saturday's incident into a GoFundMe that has now generated over $46,000. They have shown no interest in correcting the record. Mom and dad continue to push the same narrative that the cops were called on the boy. And Ms. Rachel doesn't appear interested in correcting the record, either.

"The reality is that Rachel Griffin Accurso, who plays the character of Ms. Rachel, should not be trusted with your kids," Fox News Digital's Karol Markowicz wrote in September.

Nightmare becomes reality as Mississippi State confirms QB Kamario Taylor is out for the season

Mississippi State's worst fears have unfortunately come to fruition as quarterback Kamario Taylor will miss the remainder of the Bulldogs' season due to injury.

Mississippi State issued a statement on Tuesday confirming earlier reports that the signal caller would be sidelined for the rest of 2026 due to "a foot injury that requires surgery." ESPN reported that the season-ending surgery will be performed on his toe.

Taylor injured his toe during Mississippi State's win over Missouri on Sept. 26.

OHIO STATE QB JULIAN SAYIN'S INJURY MAY COMPLETELY RESHAPE THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF RACE

The Mississippi native played through the injury in State's 56-23 loss to Alabama on Oct. 3, a game in which he threw for 258 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. The Bulldogs then went into their bye week before playing at LSU on Oct. 17, a game Taylor did not suit up for, and one State was shut out 31-0.

Taylor started under center for the Bulldogs against Oklahoma on Oct. 24, but threw just five passes before being sidelined and later leaving the field in a walking boot on his right foot. The Bulldogs fell at home to the Sooners 23-15.

"Over the last few weeks, I've worked every day with our medical staff and done everything possible to be out there with my teammates," Taylor said in a statement.

"Missing the rest of this season is hard to accept, but I know God has a plan. I love this team and I love Mississippi State."

It's not an overreaction to say that Taylor being shelved for the rest of the year is among the most detrimental news any Power Four program in the country could be dealt.

Taylor, a sophomore, began the season putting up Heisman Trophy-type numbers with 15 total touchdowns, 1,192 passing yards, and just two interceptions over the course of the Bulldogs' first four games of the season.

Mississippi State was not only on track to become the most surprising team in the SEC, but around the sport in general, mostly due to Taylor's NFL-caliber arm and freakishly fast start to the year.

In the early stages of the season, one could easily make the argument that the two best quarterbacks in college football happened to be residing in the state of Mississippi, with Taylor in Starkville and Trinidad Chambliss under center for Ole Miss in Oxford.

With Taylor done for the year, Mississippi State will likely lean on Parker Puckett, a redshirt freshman who walked onto the program. Puckett has completed 64 percent of his 64 passes this season, thrown for one touchdown, and a pair of interceptions.

Somali rap promising to 'scatter' enemies underscores Omar's serene lakeside video

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., posted a serene lakeside video Friday set to a Somali hip-hop song whose lyrics boast of enemies scattering and being "crushed," days after federal agents searched her Washington home as part of a criminal investigation.

"Less scrolling, more strolling. Enjoying our beautiful Minnesota lakes," the embattled congresswoman wrote on X in a post made at the end of last week.

She attached a video of herself and her husband, Tim Mynett, walking on a dock over a lake with vibrant fall foliage in the background. The pair posed, smiled and appeared to chat as they serenely strolled across the dock, looking fondly at each other as the lawmaker running for reelection held a coffee. It ended with a montage of images from their walk.

But a loud Somali hip-hop song accompanying the video told a much different story.

ILHAN OMAR DOUBLES DOWN ON ‘REAL NAME’ WHEN CONFRONTED AT MALL OF SOMALIA

"Let me reveal who I really am. No enemy dares threaten me, wherever I step, they scatter," the lyrics to the song say in Somali, according to a translation obtained by Fox News Digital. "They flee and stay far away. I have always been the source of their distress."

The song, "Nimaan Ciilayba Icaaya," is by Ilkacase Qays, whose real name is Muse Abdikadir. His website describes him as a "U.S. based Somali singer, rapper and activist." The duet-style track features Somali singer Hodan Abdirahman.

A cultural analysis of the song says it is "a powerful example of Somali lyrical poetry built around pride, bravery, personal dignity and unwavering trust in Allah."

"A fool’s words carry no weight," the lyrics say. "Those I have angered now insult me. If the just one had felt anger on my behalf, would he not have crushed the enemy underfoot? With the strength the almighty has given me, If I draw on it late in the afternoon, by evening, I will have taught you a lesson."

FEDERAL AGENTS RAID ILHAN OMAR’S DC HOME AMID IMMIGRATION FRAUD INVESTIGATION

The analysis describes the artist as using "exaggerated imagery to ridicule his opponents, portraying them as people who would lose sleep, suffer humiliation, and even seek supernatural assistance out of desperation."

"You go without sleep, overcome with anguish, weeping in spite," the lyrics continued. "You howl like a demon through the night, because you cannot match me! Swallow your anger and choke on it if the just one had felt anger on my behalf."

Omar, who sources say is actually named Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, reemerged in Minnesota on Friday. It came after nearly two weeks out of the public eye following an Oct. 12, 2026, raid on her Washington, D.C., home, conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents. 

Members of the media followed her intently as she cast an early ballot alongside state Attorney General Keith Ellison at a polling place in Minneapolis on Friday. The pair then appeared at the Karmel Mall of Somalia in Minneapolis, where they enjoyed lunch among members of the Somali community and posed for photographs.

HOMAN SAYS ILHAN OMAR COULD BE STRIPPED OF NATURALIZATION, DEPORTED IF IMMIGRATION FRAUD IS PROVEN

Later in the day, Omar posted the video to X. It is unclear when it was filmed.

The Somali-born Minnesota lawmaker restricted who can respond directly to her social media post, with the only publicly facing comment being from ousted former U.S. House "Squad" member Cori Bush, who wrote: "We love this."

Omar is being investigated for potential fraud related to immigration paperwork filled out by her or her father when she was becoming a United States citizen. HSI is the main investigatory agency for the Department of Homeland Security.

During the raid, Omar's passport and cellphone were confiscated by federal agents.

Her sister, Sahra Noor, was interviewed by federal investigators in the wake of the raid. Federal agents have also obtained Omar's DNA, Fox News reported.

If fraud is proven, Omar could be denaturalized, border czar Tom Homan said last week.

Rob Lowe gets candid about his best on-screen kiss as other major stars dish on their worst

Celebrities are getting real about their best and worst on-screen smooches.

Rob Lowe recently praised one of his former co-stars as the best on-screen kiss of his career, while Nicole Kidman previously roasted one of her former screen partners as her worst.

Whether it was the circumstances surrounding the shoot, the chemistry between the actors or a co-star's choices at lunch, these star's share what can make or break a romantic scene for them.

Here are some stars who have disclosed their best and worst on-screen kisses.

Rob Lowe dished on the actress he considers to be his best on-screen kiss.

During a recent appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," the "The Outsiders" star told host Andy Cohen while playing "Plead the Fifth" that his best kiss was with co-star, Nastassja Kinski, while filming "The Hotel New Hampshire."

"Have a look at her," he said when asked what made her the best. "At that moment in time, she was probably the most beautiful woman I’d certainly ever seen."

While she was his favorite co-star to kiss, he also mentioned he felt "very, very scared" to kiss her.

Sharon Stone has only one co-star in mind when it comes to her best kiss.

During an interview on  SiriusXM’s "Radio Andy" in April, the actress called Robert De Niro, "the best kisser in the business," and said the kiss they shared while filming the 1995 movie, "Chicago," "really just knocked me out."

"We did this scene where I have to go to the bathroom, and because I play this hustler, I get him to give me money to go," Stone explained. "He gives me this money and I look at him like, ‘Really? I think a little more than $50 for the bathroom.' And he … reaches in, and he gives me, like, $100, and then I lean over, and I kiss him."

ROBERT DE NIRO GETS EMOTIONAL AS AMY POEHLER PRAISES HIM FOR SPEAKING 'TRUTH TO POWER' AS REGULAR TRUMP CRITIC

The kiss was enjoyed by both her and De Niro, with Stone telling Andy Cohen that when director, Martin Scorsese, asked if they wanted to film the scene again, "We both looked at him and went, 'Yeah, I think maybe we need one more.'"

Although fans love the kiss between Rocky Balboa and Adrian in "Rocky," Sylvester Stallone doesn't have fond memories from filming the scene.

In a recent interview with Page Six Hollywood, Stallone referred to his kiss with actress Talia Shire as "the kiss from hell," but it was no fault of the actress.

"Then I go in to kiss her — pull the hat off, the glasses — and… her nose is running. Badly," he said. "So we go in for the kiss and she goes [bad coughing noise]. And I go, ‘Oh my God!’And I have to keep moving forward. There is no reverse. So I knew exactly as soon as I kissed her that within an hour I had the flu."

He then recalled that shortly after filming the romantic scene, he found himself in bed with a runny nose.

Nicole Kidman did not hold back when it came to describing her worst on-screen kiss.

During an appearance on the "Las Culturistas" podcast in March, the "Practical Magic" star revealed she "cannot stand bad breath," calling it a "dealbreaker" for her when it comes to men. She noted, "You want me to lean in? Smell good."

She then called out her former "Big Little Lies" co-star, Alexander Skarsgard, for eating a falafel shortly before they were going to film a romantic scene.

"I'm like, 'No, no, no, Alex. I'm meant to be kissing you and into you. Put away the falafel now. Because the bad breath does not turn me on,'" she recalled. "I said, 'No more falafel. Nope. Not before you kiss. Not before you make love. No more falafel. Put the falafel away.'"

Kate Hudson has been very honest about how she feels about her on-screen kisses with many of her former co-star's.

While playing Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test with her "The Glass Onion" co-star, Janelle Monáe, Hudson was asked to compare her on-screen kisses with two former co-stars; Billy Crudup and Matthew McConaughey.

"I think Billy is a gentler kisser," she said. "Better? I wouldn’t say better. Definitely…definitely just gentler. It’s a more sophisticated version of a kiss...It’s like theater, Stanislavski, and like Longhorns."

Hudson was then asked about her kiss with Dane Cook she quickly replied, "No. Canceled." She starred with him in 2008’s "My Best Friend’s Girl."

She previously told Gwyneth Paltrow during an appearance on her "Goop" podcast in October 2020 that her kiss with McConaughey in "Fool's Gold" was one of her worst.

"The thing is, every time I kiss McConaughey, it's like there's just something happening and there's like snot or wind," she laughed. "When we were kissing in the end of 'Fool's Gold,' we're like in the ocean, we had the plane crash. He just had snot all over his face."

When speaking with Monáe, she confirmed that her favorite on-screen kiss was with Liv Tyler, saying "She has the softest lips of them all."

Despite being in a relationship with him, Sally Field named her kiss with Burt Reynolds while filming "Smokey and the Bandit" was her worst on-screen kiss.

During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," in December 2022, the "Mrs. Doubtfire" star said "It was just not something he did very well."

Cohen pushed Field to give more details about what made it so bad, asking if it was "The tongue?"

"No, we’re not totally involved [with the kiss], it was just a lot of drooling," she said.

Nearly 1,000 arrested across France as police find potential weapons on protestors: officials

Nearly 1,000 people were arrested Saturday as nationwide protests resumed, France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez told reporters.

Earlier in the day, police officers preemptively searched protesters, and arrested people suspected of carrying potential weapons, including fireworks and ball bearings, Reuters reported.

Nuñez did not specify where the arrests were made. 

In Paris, where police estimated 110,000 people marched, officers conducted more than 3,000 checks and arrested 65 people, the BBC reported.

The French Interior Ministry said about 410,000 people participated in protests nationwide, while union organizers estimated attendance at 800,000. In Paris, union organizers put turnout at 250,000, compared with the police estimate of 110,000, according to CBS News.

AMERICANS WARNED ABOUT PARIS TRAVEL AFTER VIOLENCE, LOOTING AND TEAR GAS-FILLED STREETS

"Violent individuals have no place in the marches," the Paris Police Department said in a social media post. "The objective is clear: to prevent troublemakers from joining the procession, and to ensure the safety of the demonstrators."

Central Paris resembled a city under lockdown, as shopkeepers boarded up storefronts, museums closed and more than 20 metro stations suspended service.

In other cities — including Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble, Lille and Nice — police have resorted to firing tear gas to break up unruly crowds, Reuters reported.

Also in Nice, police used a water cannon to disperse a group of demonstrators who refused to pull back. And in Marseille and Lyon, there have been clashes between police officers and hooded youths.

FRANCE’S TEEN RIOTS TAKE EXPLOSIVE NEW TURN AS GOVERNMENT POINTS FINGER AT HARD LEFT

Some 70,000 police officers have been deployed across France to clamp down on agitators and prevent the kind of unrest seen during recent demonstrations, when cars were torched and the city hall building in Limoges was set on fire.

Last weekend, more than 2,700 people were arrested during protests that later turned into riots and looting sprees.

The nationwide marches were meant to reflect broader dissatisfaction with the French government, with protesters taking to the streets to air a range of different grievances.

The protests began weeks earlier and were led by high school and university students. They were frustrated with teacher shortages and poor conditions at schools, including overcrowded classrooms and dilapidated buildings.

The movement gained momentum when major labor unions joined the demonstrations, broadening the protests to include opposition to the government's austerity policies and concerns over wages, pensions and the overall cost of living.

Linda Perry says she was feeling healthy when doctors discovered ‘angry’ cancer by chance

Musician Linda Perry was feeling healthy when doctors discovered her body was plagued with an "angry" cancer.

On a recent episode of the "Off The Record" podcast with Lisa Konicki, Perry said "guardian angels" brought her breast cancer diagnosis to the surface.

"That was just angels, you know, guardians, because I never do any of that stuff – mammograms. Nothing. No, I'm like I'm not going down that way. And if that's where I go, then take me down. But I can't stand the medical. … I'm not a fan. I don't buy it," Perry began.

FORMER 'DWTS' HOST SAMANTHA HARRIS SURVIVED BREAST CANCER TWICE AFTER DOCTORS DISMISSED HER SYMPTOMS

The 4 Non Blondes singer explained she considered herself "healthy" at the time of her diagnosis, noting that she doesn't smoke, drink alcohol or ingest caffeine.

Perry also explained that she wanted a breast reduction "for years" but never booked the surgery because she is afraid of being under anesthesia. Eventually, she decided it was time and arranged for the procedure.

"So, I go do the appointment," she began. "We go to the recovery. You know, I stay at this place overnight. Totally, everything was fine. And then the doctor comes by, and she's like, 'Everything went great, you know, but ... you have triple negative cancer, and we found it in your biopsy. It's very early, but it's there.'"

Perry said the doctor told her the cancer she had was a "very, very fast" and "angry" cancer.

She said the doctor laid out her options: begin radiation and chemotherapy or do a double mastectomy.

"I was like, 'No brainer. I'm halfway there. Take them.' I didn't even think about it. I was just like, 'Pop them off. I'm good. When can we go?'" Perry said on the podcast.

Perry had her double mastectomy in January 2022, and since then, she's been healthy.

On the podcast, Perry talked about her mother, Marluce Martins Perry, who was sick at the time of her diagnosis and surgery. She told Konicki she would never have thought her symptoms were due to a serious illness and would have assumed they were caused by the stress from her mother's condition.

Therefore, she would never have gotten her breasts checked.

"So, angels, angels all around me. My whole life," she said of how she was able to catch her cancer so early.

Sports Illustrated adds Charley Hull to its swimsuit roster, NASCAR's nosedive & do we have anthem fatigue?

'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news, and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk. It runs Monday-Friday on OutKick.com.

Over the hump and safely into another big week(end) of football. And baseball! Sure, Rays-Brewers ain't exactly Mets-Yankees from 2000, but the Fall Classic is still the Fall Classic.

Lord knows it's better than the whatever it is they're doing in the WNBA at the moment. Thank goodness that season is just about over. Goodness, it'll be nice when the curtains close on that league here in a few days.

It'll be smooth sailing after that! Just football, baseball, hockey and the NBA ... if you so choose. Beautiful time of year.

Let's roll.

Welcome to a Thursday Nightcaps — the one where LPGA star Charley Hull throws her bikini in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit ring for the first time.

LPGA STAR CHARLEY HULL HAS FRIEND TO THANK FOR NOT GETTING DRUNKEN FOREHEAD TATTOO AFTER NIGHT OUT AT THE CLUB

That's right. We've got a new rookie on this year's roster, and she's a modern-day Andrew Luck in terms of hype. What a steal for SI. Well done.

What else? I've got Pat McAfee's first ESPN alt-cast of a Monday night game going terribly, the big-wigs over at NASCAR HQ experiencing a similar situation, and we've got more national anthem drama ... somehow.

The president has even weighed in this time! I'll be honest with you, I have national anthem drama fatigue. I'm just over it. I don't care anymore.

Beyond the obvious disgust, do you guys care anymore? I'm curious.

OK, grab you your favorite horror movie in anticipation of tomorrow's National Horror Movie Day, and settle in for a Thursday 'Cap!

THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!

Those of you who have been in this class since the beginning (nearly five years now!) know that I'm a horror movie buff. I love that stuff. I grew up watching scary movies with my mom.

In fact, she accidentally took me to a screening of Rob Zombie's Halloween II as a teenager, and the whole movie basically just turned out to be a bunch of sex scenes. We didn't talk for two days.

Anyway, I maintain that Halloween is the greatest horror movie of all time. It's certainly the best slasher movie out there. The theme song. The suspense. The ridiculous sequels and spin-offs. It's just perfect. The entire franchise is great, except the most recent movie, which was trash.

Mount Rushmore of Halloween movies? Sure, why not?!

Honorable mentions: Halloween 6 (Paul Rudd's debut!) and the first Halloween of the most recent reboot trilogy. The other two STUNK.

LPGA STAR CHARLEY HULL DITCHES THE LINKS FOR A BIKINI GIRLS TRIP, DOLPHINS-BENGALS FAN FIGHT & 'BAMA NO-CALL!

And that concludes the cinema portion of today's class. You're welcome!

OK, let's get this thing started with someone who is the opposite of scary: LPGA star, Charley Hull!

Turns out, our girl is dipping her toe into the SI Swimsuit waters:

From Sports Illustrated:

Professional golfer Charley Hull will make her SI Swimsuit debut in the 2027 issue. After turning pro in 2013, Hull quickly became the youngest player to ever represent Europe in the Solheim Cup at the age of 17. Now 30, the English golfer is a three-time LPGA Tour winner who reached her career high of No. 3 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings in February 2026.

Welcome to the show, Charley Hull! OutKick has been following Hull since the beginning, so it's good to see her getting the credit she deserves.

She may be European, but make no mistake about it ... she's a patriot.

Check out what she said to Joe Kinsey last month about Sydney Sweeney's gambling ad that sent the left into a death spiral:

"The amount of backlash that (it) is getting, I just don't understand the way people's brains work. They're making a big deal out of nothing. It's an actress slash model modeling for an advert. And I think she owns the company as well."

Yep. I think she'll do just fine in her new endeavor.

Worse comes to worst, she'll certainly do better than Pat McAfee's alt-broadcast of Monday Night Football earlier this week:

So, here's the thing ...

A lot of folks say those embarrassing ratings are a sign that fans have "Pat McAfee fatigue." I disagree.

I think we have "alt-broadcast fatigue." WHY do we need multiple broadcasts of a game? I don't get it. You go to watch a college football game on ESPN nowadays, and you accidentally end up watching the "Skycast" view, which is just an announcer-less view of the game from a camera above the action. That's it.

WHY do we need that?!

Why do we need an "alt-cast"? Just give us the stupid game on the stupid channel and leave us alone. We don't need to hear what another group of analysts thinks of the game. We don't need to watch the game from their sideline perspective. We don't need a "Next-Gen" broadcast of all the stats nobody cares about.

Just let us watch the game! It ain't McAfee fatigue. It's streaming fatigue. That's it.

Don't believe me? Ask NASCAR!

Look at that number! Do you understand how bad that is? Sunday's NASCAR playoff race at Phoenix drew just 1.2 million viewers. That's unfathomably bad.

I wrote about it this morning and really got into the weeds. I won't do that here because we all have better things to do, but feel free to dive in.

Bottom line? NASCAR's top series has been on network TV all of seven times this year. Seven. That means the other 26 races have been on either cable, or streaming. That ain't gonna work.

Again, folks are tired of the extra nonsense. We've gone too far with streaming and alt-broadcasts. Simpler is better. NASCAR is now learning that the hard way.

Finally, on the way out, let's check in on the latest national anthem scandal on the hardwood:

I'd like to leave the class with a question today ...

Are y'all over the anthem stuff? I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm not saying it's not ridiculous behavior, because it is.

But do we really care how LeBron James acts before games? Is it really worth getting upset over LEBRON JAMES in 2026? Or at the insufferable WNBA girls? We know who they are. We know what they believe, and how they act.

Why do we care anymore? They're all gaslighters. They're all virtue-signalers. They're all insufferable.

At this point, I'd prefer just treat them as such and ignore the nonsense.

How do you feel? Let me know!

See you tomorrow.
