People Are the Worst

They really are. For example, take this guy in Orlando who is the father of the kid that Big Baby bumped after knocking down that game-winner on Sunday night. The dad has A) written to the League office demanding an apology from Davis and B) claims that Glen Davis acted like a “raging animal with no regard for fans’ personal safety.” Hey dude, that’s why you drop $1,000 for front row seats – so that you can be in the middle of the action. Take little Timmy up to a luxury box if you don’t want him to be in danger of coming into contact with any of the players.

See the video below – other than his kid being sad because the Magic lost, is there any way this guy has legitimate gripe? And does it really warrant writing a letter to the League and calling Big Baby names?

    Chicagorilla’s a pussy who coddle’s he’s kids too much. You ever heard of getting up and shaking it off or throwing some dirt on it. You can’t protect your kid from everyone who is gonna knock him down in life and if you try it will only weaken them.

  • ldawg23

    BS like this is why athletes shy away from people…This douche, with his letter to the commish is gonna get fans moved 15ft away from the action…
    Like Dime said, move your ass up a few rows if your WORRIED about Big Baby or anyone else showing joy after hitting a game winning shot…Switch with some of the less fortunate fans in the WAY back of the arena…They’ll be glad to be “shoved by a raging animal”

    Why are those seats there in the first place?! The players should not be walking past fans to check into the game! The guys on the end sit on the floor, for Crissakes. This shit has irked the hell out of me since the beginning. Fuck those ugly wealthy twats. Get off the floor, nephew. Kiss ass.

    Yeah, those are some crazy-ass Jack Nicholson seats between scorekeeper and players’ bench.

    Hawks don’t even have these seats in the regular season, but add them in the playoffs each season (so, e.g, TI can keep rehabilitating his image in them this year) for some serious extra $.

    Probably much, much more $ than regular floor seats, which themselves are outrageous. Orlando will treat this guy and his kid right because fat cat $ revenue talks in small-town NBA markets.

  • jryu

    why in the holy hell are you guys arguing about this?

    he barely touched the kid and it was obviously not intentional. he hit a game winner in the playoffs and got excited as hell. if i did that, i’d probably lose my mind for the next 15 minutes.

    what’s funny is in the clip around 1:29-25, big baby shuffles his feet about 10 times before catching the pass from pierce. haha quick feet for a 400 pounder..

    @59 Why dont you mind your own bussiness before I get Ken all over your ass, “ha-do-ken” .

  • Tha Boddy (SouthPaw)

    Watch the video he reaches out and pushed the boy with his right hand…it was funny as hell though

  • Dre

    All I got to say is don’t sit your @SS down there if you are afraid of contact. Big Baby didn’t even see that kid… you act like he stared the kid down like a torpedo and ran straight for him. Give me a freaking break… I would have apologized but that punk-@$$ dad needs to toughen up. If I was his son… I would be so freaking embarassed.

  • Dre

    No, he did that to keep from running the kid over head on but he was still caught up in the moment… this made it look like he was just shoving the kid.

  • matthew

    The people defending the dad are either insane or didn’t watch the video. I got jostled more than that waiting in line to see the inside of the Vatican.

    And that “animal” comment was more out-of-bounds than Davis himself was. Your kid gets grazed by a guy he just made the shot of his life and is excited and your thought is “animal”? Even if the guy isn’t a racist (though something tells me he wouldn’t have called Steve Nash an “animal” under the same scenario), he is an idiot.

    We all know what this is, they’re just pissed a guy named Big Baby stuck a dagger in their home team in a series that shouldn’t even be competitive. Little Junior probably wept like a girl with a skinned knee all the way home and Daddy just was so upset.

    Worse than being a crappy, whiny dad that guy is just a bad NBA fan. Nevermind getting an apology, that guy should be banned from every arena for the sake of the game.
