@Enhance I thought about that for a bit yesterday, too.  It looked like the guy sat down next to a man that looked like he could be his dad.  Maybe this was a way to have a souvenir to remember a special day.  

But then I thought if it were my dad and me.  I would give the kid the ball and have a cool conversation with my dad about the special things in life.   My point: if we're going to go "there", the man is is still an Iowa fan, and still a douche. 

@JJ Husker I'm not debating the 'right' thing to do, as I already acknowledged it. I'm mostly questioning the reaction. I don't see the reason or logic behind completely losing one's mind and publicly shaming this guy, or calling him some pretty bad names, and there's been a lot of that. You would've thought he punched the kid in the face and said something bad about his mother based on how some people are treating it.

I also don't really see where he 'stole' it or took it from the kid. They both went for it at the same time. The older guy got it. Again, yeah, it's sort of lame to compete against a kid for that, but some people are going totally overboard about it IMO.

I guess I don't see the problem with the guy taking some abuse for it. He did the wrong thing and now he's paying for it. Granted I haven't specifically seen the things being said about him. Maybe there is some overreaction but that's why you shouldn't be a douche, in public anyway.

Besides that....Iowa
