Some don’t like the term Karen because they see it as a racial slur against whites. But the same could be said of AWFLs (affluent white female liberals). They may be white women, but they are hardly typical white women. Rather, they are soulless horrors, like the Karen who took a kid’s ball after a home run by Harrison Bader of the Philadelphia Phillies at a game in Miami on Friday:

Amuse on X clears up any doubt as to who the ball belonged to:

A father retrieved a ball that landed in his row, handed it to his son, and was confronted by a woman reaching down from the row behind who insisted it was hers. Cameras rolled, tempers flared, and a child’s birthday turned into a referendum on who owns what when a baseball crosses the wall. The law has an answer. Under Gray’s Rule, coupled with the background doctrines of abandonment and first possession, the ball belonged to the father the moment he secured it. …

The facts are straightforward. The ball landed in the father’s row. It was not secured by the woman leaning over from the row behind. The father got to it first. He picked it up and had control. There is no suggestion that the ball was in anyone else’s glove or hands before he secured it.

Disgustingly, the invertebrate father took the ball from his son and gave it to the bullying entitled Karen:

If the Karen looked familiar, you may be thinking of an infamous AWFL.

Fortunately, there was a happy ending for the boy:

Later in the game, the young fan was approached by a Marlins staffer at loanDepot Park, who handed him a gift bag.

“This is for you. I’m so sorry,” the staffer could be heard saying in a video shared on social media.

It got better still when Bader gave him a signed bat:

Fathers are encouraged to make their sons proud by standing up to Karens and AWFLs.
