    The fountain of entertainment from baseball videos (to me) is endless. Here's a recent one... the title of the post says it all, as does the comments (she even has a Karen haircut... the Marlins gave the [phillies fan] kid a gift basket, which is cool since it's the other team...), anyway, enjoy.

    The "karen" was just mad she didn't get the ball. Personally, I blame her beta husband for not catching it like a grown ass man should.

                The video shows she was not nearly as outrageous and is made out.

                    Yeah, but the action does not rate being made a national laughingstock. This could lead to a suicide.

                      I could see being pissed off if some guy random 10 rows away to snatch the ball away just as I was grabbing it, he was a bit of a dick himself.

                        That was my take. She didn’t grab it from the kid, the dad gave it to her.

                            So why is this bullying okay when other bullying isn’t?

                            Man, we’ve forgotten how to be gracious and forgiving.

                              Cyber anonymity. It allows for the worst of us to come out and show it to the world with impunity.

                                We live in an era of always being on camera. In some instances, it has helped to perhaps address the worst of human behavior - but in the scheme of things as poorly as this woman's actions appear, they are by no means the worst behavior committed on that day. It is a sad thing that a camera may be present at those couple of minutes when we are not our best and be forever judged by those moments.

                                On the other hand, it is very, very rare that as a runner I see inappropriate behavior - but the time I did, just putting my phone in video mode seemed to make things a little calmer.

                                And while I have a lot of empathy and want to give police the benefit of the doubt, every once in a while there's a case that clearly demonstrates such an egregious lack of judgment as to call to question their ability to be in that profession - so perhaps a net benefit for the more transparent world in which we live. Sadly, the mob often overreacts.

                                  And a mob is SO much easier to gin up these days.

                                    I’d be upset I didn’t get the ball but there are 2 rules in baseball when getting a ball in the stands.

                                    1. Anyone has a right to the ball until it’s in someone hands.
                                    2. Always give the ball to a kid.

                                      Nah. That doesn't excuse this guy's behavior.
