There's no "law" involved, period. The idea that there's some unwritten rule you have to have an obnoxious scrum is IMO silly. If the ball lands in your area, whoever picks it up first is entitled to it, but scrambling like a jackal from half a section away is just poor form, as the English might say.

If she HAD gotten her hands on the ball (and I still don't see evidence she didn't) would he have been "justified" in ripping it from her, just because she hadn't "completed the catch" by raising the ball aloft as one person claimed is proper? It's one thing to go get a ball that's headed into an empty section. It's another thing to take the ball away from the people it was hit to because you fought like a cheap street thug. "Sure, it was hit right to your feet, but you didn't drop your phone and I bend faster than you! Suck it, whore!!"" Grow up. And just because he didn't actually elbow the others out of the way doesn't mean he wouldn't have.

And I'd have given the booing jerks the finger, too

After reviewing the video, the ball is actually hit to Seat #3, where the large black guy with the glasses and the beard is sitting. He and the lady in seat #2 both bend over to pick it up. (I assume they're together, since there are several empty seats to the right of him and why would two people attending the game by themselves be seated next to each other?). Daddy Dickhead zooms over, snatches the ball and smirks his way back to his stupid kid, who is in Seat #16. Which means the guy is in #15. Which means he ran down 12 seats to take the ball away from the couple it was hit to, and spoil their evening. Ass-wad.

Oh, and it wasn't the kid's birthday, after all. It was his "birthday week". Whatever. Are you gonna do the same thing next week and claim it's okay because it's Lincoln's "birthday month"?

Two middle-aged people, having a nice night at the park, have the good fortune to have a souvenir sent their way, and some entitled prick ("I'm doing it for MY BOY, so that makes me right!") scrambles in front of them and steals their ball. (They bought the seats, they have a right not be intruded on without permission. That's just basic courtesy.) The guy probably didn't want to make a scene, but his girl/wife/pal/whatever didn't think Jerk Dad should get away with that. And so she stood up for her friend. Good for her.
