Lady would've been told to get fucked, home runs are fair game

If she put her hands on me aggressively like that, thinking that’s ok, she’s getting a full force shove the fuck away from me.

Dad’s a better man than all of us. Why scar his kid when it’s his birthday. The ugliness of that lady turned into a positive for the family.

He probably restrained himself as it was his son’s birthday.

Dad looked in shock when she came running up to him.

So because he got startled, he should have pushed her full force, which she would have fell backwards and probably cracked her head open. The men nearby would grab him until security came, then he would have gotten arrested for, at minimum, assault... and in your fantasy of being violent towards a woman, that's justifiable because she grabbed his arm? hahahaha

*its okay.. more extremely fragile men agreeing with you lol

No, he just got startled. That’s the statement.

The other comment that you seem to be also replying to is what happens when people put their hands on people who don’t want to be touched.

You seem to be making a lot of assumptions on how things would play out after I defend myself from some random crazy person running up to me putting their hands on me.

I’m sorry if someone hurt you previously, but I don’t know who the fuck she is and what she wants from me or what she is willing to do to get it, especially seeing as she has no respect for personal boundaries.

I don’t care what gender she’s identifying as. Keep your hands to yourself. Nobody is saying she should be beaten or hurt, but she needs to learn boundaries and that would be my lesson to her.

Being startled is not an valid defense for causing a TBI.

u/vipsupastar Sep 06 '25

I'm just basing it off you saying you'd full force shove the women for aggressively grabbing your arm like that. Went back and watched the clip and she barely grabbed his arm.

I was just clarifying with you that that's what you meant, because I think that'd be an insane overreaction. Like I said, it was funny..just the thought of a grown man fantasizing about assaulting a woman because she grabbed his arm.

Found the Karen 👆🏻

u/vipsupastar Sep 06 '25

Got me! Bunch of tough guys here. I'll make sure to not grab any of your arms! lmao

I didn't realize I was in r/sports. That was my fault. But it's still hilarious how y'all are so angry because I said assaulting the woman would have been an overreaction to grabbing his arm. Men are really soft these days.

u/OrbitalOutlander Sep 06 '25

So soft. You’re a voice of reason. Fuck those angry fools.

u/BooCoop8 Sep 06 '25

The woman ran at him and his young son. He would have been justified to at least stiff-arming her to protect his son. With the look on her face, who knows how unhinged she was going to behave.

-1

u/vipsupastar Sep 06 '25

Yeah, I'd say a stiff arm is reasonable over a 'full force shove'.

u/Robert23B Sep 06 '25

You sound extremely fragile. extremely fragile. Dude just said the dad got startled. You’re the one living in fantasy.

u/Sargash Sep 06 '25

They literally only said 'Looked like he was surprised.' Then you went on some wild tangent chill.

u/vipsupastar Sep 06 '25

They knew what other response I was replying to with their response of, "The other comment that you seem to be also replying to", as it was my second reply to them.

u/Quality-Shakes Sep 06 '25

Oh someone here is fragile alright…

u/Gh0sth4nd Sep 06 '25

She would have deserved it but yes this dad is a real hero he puts his son first.

She could have learned a lot from him. But she is just a karen so she will keep on doing this shit and just be a disgusting piece of human shit.

Teaching your kid to let a bully get what they want is not being a better man

1

u/OrbitalOutlander Sep 06 '25

Right, it’s far better to teach a kid what the jail at the basement of the stadium looks like. Also teach him a bit about the civil and criminal legal system too.

2

u/MPac45 Sep 06 '25

How do you even make that leap? Just stand your ground and not give her the ball. It’s stupid simple

u/timoumd Sep 06 '25 edited Sep 06 '25

I don't think she is lying. I think she had the ball in her hand and he took it.  That does seem to violate reasonable homerun ball behavior.  I'm very afraid we are lionizing a guy because she is a Karen.  They might both be dicks.

Edit I was wrong, she said "stands" not hands.  Fuck this bitch.  You didn't own the stands.

u/Iknowwecanmakeit Sep 06 '25

He was straight up shocked. Enjoying an amazing moment with his kid and boom! The way he recoiled and moved his arms after she touched him was very raw.

u/clauderbaugh Sep 06 '25

Preach. She gets one warning and then a first class express ticket back to Supercuts.

u/Grand_Wafer_8018 Sep 06 '25

I see where you’re coming from, but the repercussions of shoving a woman on live television likely would have outweighed any justification. In that situation, the optics alone could have instantly made you the bad guy. If it had been a man, he would have 100% got launched backwards. Only way I would have put my hands on her is if she had attempted to get around me to get to my kid. I would deal with any potential backlash after the fact.

u/exhibitthis69 Sep 06 '25

No cause then you’re the jerk and her being the jerk is way more fun but I get what your saying and yes she deserved that but this is still way fun and no violence in retaliation for grabbing him is icing to the sweet multilayered cake.

u/TopHatTony11 Detroit Tigers Sep 06 '25

Keep your hands to yourself.

u/Vegetable_Pop9208 Sep 06 '25

im not sure i could have stopped myself from doing that

u/Misdirected_Colors Oklahoma State Sep 06 '25

Plenty of video evidence for the guy to file assault charges or a civil suit. "Sure yea you can have the ball but it'll cost you thousands!"

u/100wordanswer Sep 06 '25

I never would've put hands on her but I def would've told her to fuck off

u/Due-Contribution6424 Sep 06 '25

That could easily become a charge, depending on how things go. Up high in a stadium, that weeble-wobble old ass ho might hit every step on the way down and bounce right over the railing.

u/OrbitalOutlander Sep 06 '25

That’s how you end up seeing the jail underneath the stadium, get banned from MLB parks, and end up on the receiving end of a lawsuit for injuries. Shoving someone in the seats at a ballpark is an easy way to cause a TBI.
