Bad Dad video?
This headline caught my eye:
Dad drops his daughter trying to catch a foul ball
The article reads:
The China Post news staff--A father who took his wife and daughter to a baseball game in Taoyuan last Saturday became a target of discussion among netizens when he dropped his daughter during a failed attempt to catch a foul ball.
The dad was cheering in the stands in the game between the Brother Elephants and the Lamigo Monkeys played at Taoyuan Stadium on Saturday, when he was caught on camera trying to catch the ball.
The dad lifted his arms in the air when he saw the ball flying toward him, causing the girl to fall onto the seats in front of the two, according to a video clip recording the incident posted on YouTube.
But he missed the catch. Luckily, the girl was not injured.
The clip also showed the man's wife, who was sitting beside him during the game, staring at him in anger for dropping their daughter to try catch the ball.
Aaaand... here's the video.
What's a dad to do?
Was he completely wrong? Was he, in fact, trying to protect his daughter from being bonked in the head by the ball? (It seems this is what he is trying to tell his wife.)
Have you ever had an embarassing moment as a sports spectator?
