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.


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.


Agree 100%.


But she didn’t catch the ball…it was never in her hands, it landed in the row in front of her. There’s always a scramble of people trying to grab the ball. You don’t get to demand a ball from someone because you wished that you had caught it.

Their music is boring, but they are downright funny in some of their interviews. Is Ringo the best drummer on earth? Ringo's not even the best drummer in the Beatles!

What I am confused by is that they are still interacting with each other's kids. Affleck's son just went to lunch with JLo and her daughter, JLo's sister visited Violet Affleck last fall at college, etc. But what happened to JLo's interaction with the baseball guy's daughters? Why are Affleck's kids different to her? She was with the baseball guy longer than she was with Ben.


I think it's for a few different reasons. One Arod's kids live in Miami so they naturally don't get to hang out since Jlo main residence is in LA since Ben. The second reason is because Ben will forever be the one who slipped away for Jlo. Her whole family loved him. They are intentionally making efforts to stay in his circle. While she cares about i still dont's think it's appropriate in my opinion

Travel sports (baseball and football) killed my older sister's marriage. It was obviously a symptom of a much bigger problem like their lack of communication and willingness to compromise, but it all leads back to the sports. They divorced and the kids lived with their dad for majority of time. They ended up playing some in college but that was the end of it. He later admitted staying he regretted how much time/money was wasted traveling. It was not worth their marriage.

My DH and I decided against allowing our kids on any traveling teams. It's not worth the headache for us

I just watched the video too. It wasn't the woman's ball. Whoever grabs the ball first gets to keep it. The Dad, just got caught up in the excitement and was trying to be nice to his son. He shouldn't have given the ball to the woman at all.

I think I agree with all of these. I enjoy the Beatles but I appreciate a lot of music.

The pit bulls yes. The travel sports I could write a book about this same opinion as you. Ted lasso, I watched one season and was embarrassed to like it. I did not even try the second. Ted Lasso wasn’t good. And I love soccer.

I don't know any parent who enjoys travel sports. Even ones who want their kids to do them.
