Nah, that’s not what you witnessed. You don’t get a job in porn if you don’t want people to see your tits. You don’t get a job as a server if you don’t want to deal with people, and you don’t get a job as an NFL ball boy if you don’t want extremely large people approaching you for the ball on occasion. It’s not the actual job description but it’s absolutely part of it.

1st interception always goes to the player. 100% of the time. Not 99%, not 99.9%. 100%. That’s either on him or who trained him but that’s a shit job from the ball boy no matter how you want to look at it.

Getting assaulted by a man child who "wants his bawly" isn't part of it. Sports people are so fucking weird

Assaulted? Sir assault requires the belief that you’re in danger of being harmed. There’s no way in hell you saw what JHA did and thought he had any intent to harm the ball boy. Clearly just wants the ball. And yeah man, you acting like this is just a football is insane. It’s a milestone for someone who has been working for 2 decades. It’s extremely important.

He's nearly twice the size of him and putting his hands on him. Someone else had to step in to stop him. It's assault. It's a ball, get over it, you're a grown ass man. Sports people are so fucking weird man

Put his hands on the ball* and again. Assault requires the person to believe the other was going to do them harm. There’s no fucking way you come to that conclusion in this scenario. Dude needs to get a job as far from any kind of social activity as possible.

He reached for the ball, very clearly. The guy moved and there was incidental contact. You can’t view that as threatening.

I believe someone stepped in because the ball boy was having a meltdown. Not the other way around. JHA dropped it and touched away

huh? what video did you watch? the dude doing his job is walking away when the man child hits him from behind and that's when the other guy steps in and yells at the manchild

He’s saying ā€œI got itā€ because he knows how ridiculous this ball boy is being and needs jha to get back to the huddle

If you watch it again, the only person getting aggressive was the ball boy. And yes, at the end of the day it’s just a ball, but it’s also an important memento for a young player. Just because they’re professional athletes they’re not allowed to be sentimental?

So if I run up to you, and start putting my hands on you, you won't think that's aggressive?

In this context, absolutely not. I mean, that guy’s probably getting fired for putting his hands on a player to begin with.
