[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Phillies' Karen is a victim of misogyny. That ball landed at her feet or seat next to her, 40 yr old Dad sprints 15 seats over, grabs it while she's bent over scrambling for it, and triumphantly trots back 15 seats carrying ball over his head to hand to his roughly 12 yr old child.

This is not the victory for the poor kid (tween), that it is being portrayed as. Dad should be ashamed for running to get into a scrape on the ground with an older woman.[/quote]

I agree.  I watched that video over and over, trying to determine who was in the wrong and it's pretty clear - the DAD!  What he did was so incredibly obnoxious.  Now, I won't deny that the woman looked pretty annoying too, but this situation wasn't her fault.[/quote]

Okay, after hearing all the hubbub about this, I finally watched the video, and while I think the lady should have let it go, I thought the dad was kind of a douche to get up in her space like that. I feel bad for her. [/quote]I wonder if the roles had been reversed and she had got the ball and then the dad had got in her face demanding the ball, what would have been the reaction from the public? I think he would have been called a bully and an abuser.[/quote]

Exactly!  I mean, he walked all the way over to where there was already a group of people going for the ball - because it was in THEIR section.  What a terrible example for his son.[/quote]Not a terrible example for his son at all. The ball was hit into the crowd. The first person to grab the ball gets to keep it. That's the way it has always been. This woman getting aerated because the ball landed near her is more of a bad example to a child.

Was she the only person in the area where the ball landed? Did the ball land on her seat?

From the video it seems that there were 4 people trying to get the ball. No one else that failed to get the ball went up to the dad complaining that they didn't get the ball. [/quote]

I think the endless debate over this incident is completely nuts.  Who cares?  Stuff like this happens between rude people everyday. [/quote]
