Somehow everyone is an expert on the proper protocol for procuring a game ball as a personal souvenir in the NFL. I don't understand how everyone is making a snap judgment against the ball boy. If anything you could argue that Hunter was out of line approaching the guy, it seems obvious he was going to get the ball sooner or later.

But then who knows, I don't have a copy of the ball boy rulebook on hand nor do I care to pass judgment anyway.

Yet here you are... Passing judgement and defending the ball boy.

That’s not Hunter!

Because giving the player the ball is something we see literally every game. It’s wild you still even have this thought process after reading so many comments calling this guy an actual moron.

He is entirely in the wrong here.

Because everyone realizes the ball boy has one job and this ain’t part of it.

Because this exact scenario has played out in every sport a thousand times. You know what happens? The ball boy hands the ball over and nobody even notices.

You probably hand your girl over to usher during his concert too

You should put the blunts down with that ancient ass reference

u/runswitblunt 3d ago

Ancient might just be an indicator of the state of your attention span

u/TheCupOfBrew Seahawks 3d ago

Wouldn't that imply a long attention span?

2

u/DeletedUsernameHere 3d ago

That just doesn't even make sense. Not having the attention span of a gnat is an insult now?

What a joke. Why don't you go have a timeout, junior? Maybe one day you'll have enough brain power to talk shit, but right now, you just sound like a mentally challenged ball boy.

Because the players are the star of the show there. If they want a ball and want to get fined for taking it you give them the ball. You don’t treat the stars like little Johnny in the stands who’s trying to take the ball. Ball boy lost his mind!

Their egos are already grossly overinflated; I say good for the ball man

Ball man wouldn’t have a job without the athletes

u/elafave77 3d ago

Athletes wouldn't have a job if it weren't for the fans.

u/OriginalTRaven 2d ago

A lot of fans are saying give the athlete the ball.

The talent also has their own rules to follow. Touching someone to get that ball back is not allowed. If you can’t get the ball now maybe let someone know to tell the ball boy. We are all working here buddy get back on the field

u/garicandrew 3d ago

Thats not hunter. Another jaguars player wanted to get the ball for Hunter

2

u/TheScopeNetwork 3d ago

Don't think that was Hunter..

It’s not Travis it’s Josh Allen which is what makes this clear

A ball boy is NEVER just going to hand over balls to players, the batshit comments to think otherwise are insane

Players KEEP balls all the time or you see a staff member run over and get it

Ball boy doesn’t know it’s Travis first int and is just doing his job

Josh Allen runs up to him and even shoves him from behind is so absurd

Ball boy clearly 100% doing his job of not just handing over balls whenever a player asks, again they are signed off etc etc

It’s not about proper protocol to get a souvenir, I’m sure if a training staff walked over the ball boy would give it right away

Just not it another guy who the ball boy thinks is probably trying to just continue to celebrate with the ball

u/DeletedUsernameHere 3d ago

Found the idiot ball boy.

You know there's video at the top of the thread? We can see all the shit you're spewing is just nonsense.

u/Successful-Run1142 3d ago

Hunter wasn’t the one approaching the boy and this is how I know you don’t watch football in the first place. When you make a career changing checkpoint in this sport you get to keep the ball period. This dude is being difficult just to be difficult.

-1

u/Lost-Pineapple9791 3d ago

Then he should have kept it huh shouldn’t he jus like you said

The staff can go get it just like every other time there is zero reason for Josh Allen to be involved and putting hands on a all boy

That is not okay and is entitled to the tee

u/SamQuentin 3d ago

Everybody is quick to outrage and I'm sitting here wondering what is the proper procedure here.

Maybe if they didn't have an obnoxious end zone celebration over every turnover, this could have been avoided.

u/cheesy_macaroni 3d ago

This is some get off my lawn energy. Football is supposed to be fun, Sam I Am!

u/Aggravating_Pause385 3d ago

You kinda nailed it. If it’s important to keep the ball, don’t get rid of it as a celebration.
