He could have taken a more gentlemanly stance, not gasping and shaking his fingers, ya. Every boy/future man should know how to box and have experience at facing a physical foe
That way, even when women attack them, the way she was in his face all of a sudden, he doesn’t flinch
But he did the right thing. The woman was aggressive in a crazy way. Don’t fight with crazy people. Give up the ball
My question is how is the dad going all the way over to a crowd huddled around the ball then walking away with it.
When he waved his arms like a little kid after she startled him, that seems to indicate to me that he rarely, if ever, has had experience with physical confrontation.
I really don’t think she would’ve been capable of doing much damage, even if he refused to hand the ball over and she escalated it to physical fighting (unless she had a weapon or tried to push him down several rows of seats). She probably would’ve gotten a few weak slaps in, and then security would’ve come to get rid of her. If he retaliated, they definitely would’ve booted him as well.

There was a shot of the scrum for the ball on X. The ball actually landed in an empty row in front of the woman and her date. The father swung in from the next section (same row) and got 2 hands on the ball. The woman was bending over the seat in front of her with a cell phone in 1 hand. It was quick, but it didn’t appear that she even touched the ball.
