As we know, Nick is the boss of the yard, but, deferring to tradition, he cedes the soccer pitch to Frankie, whose brother and cousin Vlad (the donor of a very kid-appropriate bikini-themed playground bench) previously ruled the pitch. We were introduced to Bud and Yusef, two well-meaning immigrant kids who just want to play soccer (they even bring their family’s heirloom soccer ball, stained with their ancestors’ blood, no less), but Frankie will have none of it. Nick proves himself to be a xenophobe and homophobe when he not only denies the kids permission to use the field, but also makes inappropriate comments about “their” god being gay. Nice.
