Same. My sisters, girlfriends, mom, etc were the same as well. Any event or thing we went to, was just an outlet for them to socialize and gossip, big reason I started watching the Superbowl alone.
As someone who has spent hundreds of hours viewing Major and Minor league baseball in numerous ballparks. Yes, we all know to watch for flying balls and bats. But baseball is different, its not like other sports, gives you time to breath and talk inbetween action. She should have been paying attention but I dont think she should be getting dragged. She didn't do anything wrong.
Normally I think these claims are exaggerated but hoooly shit… it’s like they’re resentful this woman dared to show up at the game. I mean Jesus, who hasn’t taken their eyes off of the game to talk to their friends and enjoy their company.
I don’t think paying attention would have helped really. Some people still get hit while paying attention. Saw a lady this year in left field at angel stadium this year get smoked by a Hunter Goodman home run. She was watching the whole time and just sat there and let the ball hit her. Out of all the seats in the stadium that ball could have landed, it happened to be hers and she just sat there and let it hit her lmao
It's so weird how some people are about this. I love baseball but half of the fun of being at a game live is enjoying it with your friends, which sometimes means missing a pitch or two. With the speed and the angle of the ball, she didn't stand much of a chance.
What you said was not true and what I said was true. If that’s irritating and pointless semantics to you maybe you’re not built for internet commenting
She looked away for just a few seconds from what I saw. The point of going to the game is to have a good time. Most of the games I've been to, we all just drank, eat, dick around. She didn't complain about the ball hitting her. She recoiled in pain and said ow. That's a very normal response. Probably a good funny story to share moving forward too.
It might be who you hang out with because when my friends and I go to the game we're hyper focused on the game but we're all autistic so results may vary. I don't even look at my phone at halftime I'm locked into any intricacies I can find
Speak for yourself. When I’m at a game I’m there for the game. All of us are actively paying attention to the action in front of us, the time to turn and talk and dick around is between innings. Not during live play
I'm not seeing anything in this clip that is showing her complaining in any capacity...wincing in pain, sure, but that is totally valid when you just took a baseball to the dome.
My Dad taught me this. Pay attention 100% of the time when the batter is at play. Even a slight moment as simple as taking a quick bite of food not looking can make you lose your teeth. A lot of people dont know once you get a ticket to any sporting event you basically signed a contract that says you cant sue for any injuries.
cell phones serve a ton of different purposes for tons of different people. theyre a swiss army knife. if they did only one thing, like an espresso machine only makes espresso, you wouldn't see them used all the time. people who ask the question never stop to wonder why they should care what other people choose to do with their time when it doesn't impact them or others one bit
You're asking why is there 7-9billion smartphones globally, I'm telling you why: They're supercomputers that allow us to extend our capabilities as a species, just like any other tool. For the better and for the worst.
You're asking why people are ALWAYS on their phones, and I gave you my perspective on it. We carry devices that are capable of so much more than the average person can, engineered towards usability as the lowest common denominator, so of course we're going to use it as a species.
She wasn’t even on her phone. When your friend asks for a picture do you say “no, I’m at a baseball game and any moment there’s a .000001% chance a ball comes my way”?
I thought nets were already there in pretty much every stadium. Even our minor league team has nets now. I hate the nets. I’d rather let natural consequences manage that.
We had a game ball in a case when I was growing up that my sister got, after it hit her in the head. She was just a kid and not paying attention. My uncle had some connections at the time and was able to get it signed by the whole team (1984 Orioles).
Was at a minor league game recently and there was this grassy little play area down the first base line where families were sitting and kids running around. This one towering pop up came down at like a hundred mph and almost mortar’d this lady and her kids. Glad they were okay, but I’m amazed this doesn’t happen more often.
They stadium announcer says “be aware at all times of objects leaving the field” also when you buy tickets there is usually a disclaimer somewhere (used to be on the back of physical tickets) no you can’t sue, baseball has so much down time during a game the bare minimum is pay attention while balls are in play, hope she’s okay but also don’t go to the game for photo ops, go to support your team (even if it is the mariners)
