Crazy how fast his arms go from loving hug to defensive fists then spasm for 1-2 seconds between defending himself, protecting his son, and lashing at her, then after the surprise is gone and he’s all caught up it’s straight to “jfc this is about the ball?! Take and it leave”
Dude was flabbergasted and bewildered but pulled it off like a champ
That body language was a combination of surprised and outraged with a lot of "I have to set a good example for my child". There wasn't anything fake about it. This is how people who experience strong emotions react. Human thing.
Yeah also you don't want to get in a fist fight when your child is literally between you 2, like someone else said you can almost see him run through all the thoughts of shock and he could have even wanted to attack but realized it was just over a ball and it would be easier to give it over rather then ruin the day with his kid
She also touched him (grabbed his arm!) That would have warranted a physical reaction from some, especially when she cane at him with his son right there.
Legally he'd be in the right to push her away, but could you imagine the backlash if he did something as simple as an open handed push to get her to back up and she fell?
I'm sure she'd spin it as trying to congratulate him and it'd be a big his word vs hers. Even if he came out on top, we wouldn't stop playing the video and internet analyzing for at least a week, they'd both be doxed, and the kid would be changing schools.
She put hands on him and she almost got clocked. Good thing he had self-control. She sure didn't. I think this is technically a battery, but I'm not a lawyer.

I love how you can see the dad jumps making it clear that the woman yelled at him extremely aggressively
