Internet Turns Cubs Fan Into Villain—But It Might Not Be The Whole Story

Internet Turns Cubs Fan Into Villain—But It Might Not Be The Whole Story

No one wants to see a grown man steal a baseball from a kid, and that's exactly what it looks like happened in a viral video from a Cubs game, but there may be more to it than that.


On Sunday, a video taken at a Cubs game went viral. The video appears to show a man stealing a foul ball from a kid before celebrating and giving the ball to his wife. The internet blew up with headlines like "Cubs Intervene After Fan Steals From Child" and "Cubs Give Young Fan 2 Baseballs After Middle-Aged Man Steals Foul Ball," and one can see why after watching the clip.



Later the Cubs gave the kid an autographed ball and posted a photo to Twitter.


Notice in his hands he holds two game balls? Well, it turns out the first one was given to him in a previous inning by the very man the internet vilified. Also, the ball he "gave to his wife" was actually given to another kid sitting beside the couple. Some folks who were there helped to clarify.

Here's what they had to say.




Chuck wasn't the only witness; Jeff and others weighed in.






But some folks still weren't having it.





Let's just hope everyone had a good time at the game.

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
