Way to show that 3 year-old who da man is. He just cockblocked himself for life.

This is why I don't like basketball. Everyone is always trying to be the badass of the court. Just play the damn game.

Baseball is usually a much more civilized sport.

If by civilized you mean boring unless you're drunk.

Hockey.

oh my god. why is everyone taking that bitch mom's side of this? that guy is awesome. fuck kids. seriously, coddle them like that and they grow up to be massive bitches. fuck tyler, that kid got schooled, clearly understandable by the laws of physics - but he cried like a bitch... no excuse for that.

Clearly, you've not been introduced to Cricket...

I'm torn. One side of me thinks kids ARE coddles. The other half thinks the WGN reporter should be taken behind the woodshed for this.

If you are the dad, what do you do in this situation? Clock the reporter? He's kind of standing back.

I could see me clowning around and doing this...and then being really really pissed when the kid acts like a little bitch. And then being even more mad when everybody coddles the little bitch. What do you do when your kid starts crying for no reason? Laugh and ignore...laugh and ignore

The kid got scared and had a *fearful reaction.

And KP's right - that dude isn't getting any action for awhile. What grown man yells at a 3 year old? *wtf

Adding video to channels (Fear, Wtf) - requested by SlipperyPete.

It's OK to coddle a two and half year old.

That meets their developmental needs.

When they get older they need to learn how to be increasingly independent, both physically and emotionally.

As a dad I would have had no choice but to kick that jerk's ass.

To be fair, they don't show you the first 10 minutes where the kid is up 30-2 on the jerk.

Okay the kid is like 3 years old, and he's got some crazy stranger yelling at him and gesturing wildly, I don't know a 3 year old that wouldn't cry. They simply don't have the emotional intelligence at that age to understand what's going on.

I don't actually think there's much wrong with what happened at the beginning of the video. The reporter is clearly playing around and all of the people around are laughing, including the boy's Dad. It's only when the kid takes it seriously and doesn't understand the humor in his actions that what he did becomes 'bad'.

I just think the Mom overreacted and made a mountain out of a molehill.

Guy's a bit of a douche, but the parents should've just explained to the kid that he was only joking.

If the kid laughed, it would be a different story now wouldn't it?

@Xax: Precisely.
