To allow yourself to be bullied is a great lesson for his son and daughter...

The ability to avoid (guano) insane people is also a teachable skill. Did you see the video?

What I saw was another example of a person allowing themselves to be bullied by an (donkey)(pit)...perhaps people should stand up to this bull[shirt]...

Looked more like conflict resolution to me. What happens next if he doesn’t give Karen the ball?

Dunno. What’s the 100 lb lady do?

Partially 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.

This.

Reward the lunatic with a meaningless totem to satisfy them, and the prize is being rid of a lunatic… not unlike agreeing with Melville.

Sorry, but I’m not taking something from my kid that has made him happy because a spoiled adult throws a tantrum.

I taught my kids to be respectful and polite, but also to stand up for themselves and their family when appropriate.

+1,000,000...this kid learned that his dad is a weak wuss

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 crazy

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 congratulations

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. But at least he’s not “weak,” right?

I have no idea how some of you survive in modern society.

And if you have to fight a woman to prove to your son you’re a real man you’re a terrible father anyway and obviously aren’t much of a man either

Okay creampuffs!...keep letting the crazies push you around!...how's that working out?

#1 paternal instinct should be - keep that crazy (buzz) away from my boy. He knew that, and efficiently solved the problem.

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 philosophy
