‘Go Mr. President Go!’: Phaedra Parks Has Fans Cheering on Her Son Dylan After She Showcases His Talents on the Soccer Field 

Phaedra Parks‘ son Dylan Nida‘s footwork on the soccer field became a topic of conversation after the former reality star shared a post of his recent games.

On Sept. 19, in the Instagram upload, Parks documented two of Nida’s games by sharing various clips and photos from the matches in a compilation video.

One of the recordings showcased the 9-year-old dominating his goalie position by tossing the soccer ball to his teammates. At the same time, Nida showed off his ability to move and pass the ball across the field successfully. 

In other parts of the footage, Nida was seen posing and spending quality time with Parks and older brother Ayden Nida following the game. In addition to the video, Parks expressed her struggles as a soccer mom for one of her two sons. 

She wrote, “Ode to all the #soccer #moms who get it down every #weekend no matter the #weather. May #God bless you to sneak in a power nap (cause I need one).” As fans viewed the post, many revealed in the comments section how impressed they were by Nida’s skills. A number of them referred to him by his nickname: Mr. President.

“Go Mr. President go!”

“Omg!! The boys have grown up so much!! Looking like their dad!!! Mr . President is acting up on that field though!!!”

“Love the leg action.”

“Nice sport to teach children to work cooperatively.”

“Prince and President with the fancy footwork on and off the field.”

Among the previous remarks, others praised Parks for her contributions to her two sons, such as raising them well and attending their games. One wrote, “You’re doing an excellent job with your cubs, Mama Bear!”

Another said, “@phaedraparks you’re doing an amazing job with your handsome young princes.” A third social media user posted, “They always seem so happy you are doing such a great job with them.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
