Recently, a clip of a woman at a San Francisco Giants game went viral. Navigating her way back to her seat while carrying a young baby and a handful of food for her husband, the TV announcers labeled her “mom of the year,” and predicted that she would “be the last one to eat.” They also put words in the husband’s mouth like “did you bring the ketchup?” and “my burgers’ cold—how long did it take you?”
Though what they said was in good fun, what followed online was a torrent of criticism, including direct messages to the wife that she should divorce her husband and to the husband that he should take his own life.
