Yesterday, Angel City managed to clinch three crucial points against KC Current. The fans, as usual, came in numbers to support their favorite sides. Along with the fans, the families of the players also come to show support. During the match, something happened with one of Angel City’s players’ kids that may not have been taken well by the players.

A netizen claimed he saw a fan called over one of the players’ kids. The fan asked the player’s kids to take his jersey and pen and get an autograph from one of the players for him. This tweet caught the eye of Angel City defender Sarah Gorden, who didn’t take it well. She re-shared the tweet and wrote a resentful comment.

“Do not take advantage of my baby like this! He is an empath and sweetheart so he listened to be respectful but his sensitivity needs to be protected and celebrated not used. Say hi and wave but don’t do this.” It seems Gorden wasn’t happy to hear about the behavior that fans exhibited toward the players’ kids.

Either way, it is yet unknown whose player’s kid was asked for such a demand. Both Williams and Ohanian will be looking closely into this matter. Nevertheless, this doesn’t hide their emphatic victory against KC Current.
