    That’s pretty funny, but the title makes it seem like he specifically targeted the girl.

    It looks more like he threw it as a prank for the athletes, and it just so happened to hit a young girl.

      No it’s pretty obvious that he wasn’t targeting the girl, we’re not saying he should be charged with various flavors of battery and sexual assault because we thought he meant it to hit her. And calling it just “a prank for the athletes” can fuck all the way off.

      Why is it funny? Because they do it exclusively at women’s sporting events?

      I’m really curious to hear from people who think this is funny to find out why they think that.

      I know, right? It’s just like when people bring fleshlights to throw at NBA games because it’s a totally normal and not weird thing to do.

      It doesn’t make it sound like he targeted the girl, it sounds like he was another idiot who thought he was the main character and wanted to mock women athletes.

          Then it’s not a prank. It’s Being an assshole

          Only reason people say otherwise is self appeasement or bad parents.

              No. I believe in facts. Fact is some one being an asshole, is an asshole, no matter what term you’d give them to hide under.

              So. Again. He was being an asshole, not playing a prank.

                Ok, buddy.

                There’s not a single prank that everyone will laugh at, but keep believing what you want.

                Sorry, just to drive the point further home: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practical_joke

                No mention of laughter even being a factor. You can edit the article if you’d like to change that.

                Also, this is a really good fucking prank:

                  Are you really this stupid or are you pretending? The point being made is that everyone INVOLVED IN THE PRANK should be laughing for it to be a prank. Try using your fucking head for three seconds.

                    What’s the definition of most?

                    Here’s the definition of a prank:

                    a practical joke or mischievous act

                    A practical joke or prank is a trick played on people, generally causing the victim to experience embarrassment, perplexity, confusion, or discomfort.

                    No laughter required.

                  So your issue is parentage then.

                  And if you act cruelly to one person simply so you and perchance another bystander can laugh at them, then I’d say you’re just proving the point, and you hang out with shitty people.

      throws heavy object into dense crowd of people

      I didn’t mean to hit anyone, it was just a joke!
