Re: Bader and the crazy fan
No he didn’t he learned if you don’t stoop down to idiot levels you get richly rewarded for being the rational calm person. Kid got to meet bader got an autographed bat a bunch of merchandise and is going to get to go to the World Series and you think it would have been better if all he got was a baseball and to see his dad be a big strong tough guy and punch a crazy woman? lol that’s stupid levels of crazyWLTFE wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 16:11 pm+1,000,000...this kid learned that his dad is a weak wussAbsolut wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 13:45 pmSorry, but I’m not taking something from my kid that has made him happy because a spoiled adult throws a tantrum.Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 11:27 amReward the lunatic with a meaningless totem to satisfy them, and the prize is being rid of a lunatic… not unlike agreeing with Melville.Absolut wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 09:49 amThis.Melville wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 08:40 amPartially agree.
But he did not handle it as well as he could have.
Yes, he was right to keep his composure and not get into an ugly confrontation.
No, he should not have surrendered the ball.
He missed an opportunity to show his son and his entire family how to stand strong when unjustly attacked.
He should have allowed the lunatic to rant and rave - and tell her the ball was the property of his son and that she should be embarrassed by her behavior.
Then, ignore her.
I taught my kids to be respectful and polite, but also to stand up for themselves and their family when appropriate.

Re: Bader and the crazy fan
A real stupid man does that its a baseball lol the father looks like a calm rational hero and great father the son surely got rewarded with everything he’s getting and the woman is getting way worse and learning a far more valuable lesson than if the father had said [fork] off. But hey some people have fragile egos and have to constantly try to prove to the world that they’re “real” mean by fighting over dumb [shirt] apparently you’re one of those people that have to constantly try to prove to the world that you’re a man congratulationsWLTFE wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 17:35 pmGot it...keep letting crazy (donkey)(censored) bully you...the wuss had no idea that the teams and Bader would make things right...he was weak...a real man stands up, tells the Karen to [fork] off and his kid has the ball..Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 17:30 pmNo he didn’t he learned if you don’t stoop down to idiot levels you get richly rewarded for being the rational calm person.

Exactly. And then he steps up to the woman, it escalates and gets physical and no matter what, HE becomes the aggressor, recorded on thousands of cameras. And today HE is taking to lawyers and hoping to keep his job. And his kid still doesn’t get the ball.

Well she was nuts so the probability of it escalating to the physical level are high why take the risk over a baseball?

Re: Bader and the crazy fan
Crazy definitely didn’t win. How’s it working out? She’s getting roasted they’re calling for her to get fired from her job and she probably will she’s being harassed they’re posting her address she’s getting roasted by the media and you think she won’t lol that’s very dumb to think she won. And did he lose? Instead of a baseball he got to meet bader got an autographed bat merchandise gets to go to the World Series the dad looks like dad of the year to everyone except those whose egos are so fragile they feel the need to constantly prove to the world they’re “real” men by fighting over dumb [shirt]. So no crazy didn’t win and it’s working out very well for them and very bad for her. But like I said you feel the need to prove to the world you’re a real man so good for you and your philosophyWLTFE wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 18:02 pmSo crazy wins?... how's that working out?Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 18:00 pmWell she was nuts so the probability of it escalating to the physical level are high why take the risk over a baseball?
