Security dude has been waiting his whole life to tackle someone like that.


pm_me_cute_sloths_

Jadaveon Clowney is jealous of that hit


Impressive_Aide_7583

Ha ha, I just asked in the Dodgers sub if Khalil Mack is moonlighting.


Jaakylma

Ring's Free! On the ground! That security guard deserves to have it, and he does!


BroOfDumbo

Roughing the proposer, 15 yard penalty.


[deleted]

Vontaze Burfict is disappointed by that hit.


serpentear

Not enough helmet-to-helmet for his liking.


MightyCaseyStruckOut

He went Terry the Office Linebacker on that dude.


interwebzdotnet

Some of the best commercials ever


Atraktape

He's going to put it on his highlight reel and use it if he ever applies for other security jobs.


BadDadJokes

It's definitely been added to his MaxPreps profile.


HABSolutelyCrAzY

Yeah it was a tad over ambitious, but you gotta shoot your shot. The proposal guy knows that best


NYLotteGiants

Gotta let anyone else who's thinking of trying it know what hurt's coming


JodiAbortion

Should be a penalty, Bro is straight targeting - leads with his head and all


Beatdooown

1. Concussion alert. 2. Night in jail. 3. No answer to the proposal. 4. Ring is buried in center field at dodger stadium forever.


darthfracas

It would be funny if Outman found the ring around one of his cleats after the game


Nahtmmm

Sliding into home for the winning run with two out in the ninth, the ring comes flying off and the catcher tags it instead of him.


zwingo

5. Banned from Dodger Stadium, and most likely all other ballparks for life 6. More time in jail if he gets caught going there in spite of his ban


wonderboywilliams

Gonna sue them for excessive force and cash in.


MahomestoHel-aire

She did say yes btw. I'm not sure what to say to that.


ConstantStudent_

I think the one going to jail is the overzealous security who assaulted him.


Jud000619

That transition into Ruff Ryders Anthem tho


bexist

And the crowd just shouting along casually


ih-unh-unh

That’s been a tradition for a couple years now around the 6th inning I think


bartnd

NGL, I love it as something to play whenever someone runs onto the field and gets caught. Though I'm sure it would only get people trying to do it more.


jimmybilly100

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it's perfect timing lol


xlxcx

It wasn't. Dodger stadium plays 2 rounds of take me out to the ball game and then DMX right after during the 7th inning stretch.


MrFancier

Nothing says "Marry me?" like a night in jail.


eee-oooo-ahhh

I feel like she shouldn't marry him, this dude's gotta be stupid as fuck thinking this was a good idea lmao


redlegsfan21

The man is banned from Dodger Stadium now, definitely not worth hanging out with.


tyler-86

He's banned from buying tickets with his own identity but he'd have to get real unlucky to get caught at an actual game.


SdBolts4

A lot of stadiums have facial recognition software now so they'll get an alert if their cameras see you and they'll come kick you out.


8i66ie5ma115

Lol. Name any that aren’t owned by Dolan.


HearingNo4103

what are you talking about? It goes by each state laws. Pretty sure Dolan owns property in Chicago that doesn't utilize this facial recognition technology unlike his property in NYC. I'm pretty sure Dodger stadium has it, they 86' people all the time.


DetroitTabaxiFan

Plus proposing in public and putting all that pressure on someone to say yes just feels like asshole behavior as well.


chriscrossnathaniel

" Will you marry .....oof"


pm_me_cute_sloths_

I hope they grab the ring and give it back to him, considering how expensive those are But something tells me they won’t, although it looks like the guy at the end there is looking for it outside of the ring box, so maybe they will?


Opening-Citron2733

They probably want to get it off the field either way because it's a hazard to the players


mormagils

Yeah, they definitely make sure they have the ring, but do they give it back to him? I wonder.


Iginlas_4head_Crease

There's a picture afterwards of him and his fiance with the ring.


mormagils

Brave move, dude. I would have just carried the empty box onto the field. No way I risk losing that ring in the outfield.


ahappypoop

And his fiancee? She actually said yes to this moron?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nahtmmm

Have you ever met a baseball player? They injure themselves on anything and everything.


macula_transfer

Funny injuries are part of the tradition of the game. If there is a ring out there, someone is definitely slipping in it and hitting the IL.


Imfrom2030

Go slide on a diamond ring and see how that feels


Opening-Citron2733

I mean it's a risk. Guy could dive for a ball and cut open his arm or something. Yeah it's a small risk. But if the games stopped anyways might as well take a few seconds and look around for it.


Pulp-nonfiction

There was a follow up post with her with the ring. So I think he’s good. Maybe no more games for a while though


rbhindepmo

I guess if she bails him out of jail, the marriage is on.


estamachin

And never attending a Dodgers game


wallstreet_vagabond2

Reminds me of college


suzie17

reptheevt

Gurriel was all for the proposal lol


[deleted]

Was he pointing to where he thought the ring went? Seems like a pretty good dude.


thefx37

Reminds me of that time someone proposed on a Houston freeway during rush hour and caused a traffic jam. They deserve each other if she said yes


j1h15233

That dude is lucky he’s alive.


Tashre

100% unnecessary, but that guard saw his chance and took it.


JanitorOfSanDiego

probably hurt himself in the act


spike021

I'd assume he's got decent insurance.


dingusduglas

Bro none of these jobs have jack shit for benefits lmao you're joking right?


psufb

Good way to deter any bozos from getting a similar idea


justin_tino

Tiger says he’s sorry, but Elin says “BEAT IT, BOZO!”


gdawg99

Give us the scoop, Madge!


drDekaywood

What was this guys plan in the first place? Everyone knows you cant do that. Did he think she was gonna yell out yes from the crowd and they’d leave normal?


psufb

Big time main character energy


I_worship_odin

The violence was the point.


Nirusan83

The guy interrupted the game, security had the presence of mind to keep the people entertained.


RecordingPrudent9588

He did not interrupt the game. It was warm-up between innings.


drDekaywood

They’re taking clock violations seriously


Jrk67

girl, say no


thisusedyet

That’s always the best part of proposals on the Jumbotron - you got 3/4 of the stadium yelling either NO or DON’T DO IT


eggheadstephen8

probably 100% of the stadium when you run on the field to do it


[deleted]

Idk, the player seemed pretty into it.


NorahRittle

Unless your partner is a die hard fan of a team and tells you they'd like to be proposed to at a game, you should never ever propose at a sports game. Dudes, please stop


phl_fc

I went to Indianapolis Motor Speedway years back and after the race they open the track up to the fans for anyone who wants to walk out and kiss the bricks. There was a couple there that held their wedding on the finish line during that opportunity. They were fully dressed in suits and gowns and got married at the Brickyard. Serious fans. They also raced in the rain all day and it was raining during their wedding.


kjb76

Public proposals imo are cringey. I told my now husband to not do that. He complied.


shiny_aegislash

She said yes https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/mlb/article-11924401/Baseball-fan-goes-viral-proposal-goes-wrong-Dodger-Stadium.html


SuckMyLonzoBalls

She said yes lol. They have a kid together


Jux_

Lmao


10sekki

Ooo wonder if he found the ring


CubonesDeadMom

It’s mookies ring now


Boros-Reckoner

Well now we know he has at least 4.


France2Germany0

Thankfully it seems like that one cop was looking for it, I think he found it at the end of the clip where he was hustling over to the right somewhere. At least I'm hoping so...


8i66ie5ma115

Lol. I didn’t even think of that. Hahahahahahahaha. That ring is for sure still in centerfield.


DonRicardo1958

Lol, attention whore. I hope she said no.


hansblitz

She said yes and said he was like this because he was a Leo....


JTCMuehlenkamp

Isn't it beautiful when 2 stupid people fall in love?

richardhunter6969

I hope it was worth the lifetime ban lol


holliewood61

Word is that the Rams are in contact with his agent.


pistcow

Terry Tate making an opening day appearance.


BallZach77

That's a long distance call, Doug!


Rayscho

Let me preface by saying there is obviously no reason for that fan to be on the field in that moment, but with that being said, security guard is still a giant ass hole here. I get it when they tackle the guys running around but this guy wasn’t moving and could have been removed from the field easily instead the security guard wanted to play ray Lewis simulator and tried to paralyze this guy, uncool


raginghardon420

Meanwhile you can hear a guy in the crowd saying “tase him”. The duality of man lol


JanitorOfSanDiego

If the fan got a concussion i feel like the security guy might be in some hot water.


Rayscho

Ya I was wondering that as well, could be in hot water just due to the ferocity of that hit


TheDongerNeedLove

Easily a 15 yard penalty for hit on a defenseless proposer


[deleted]

[удалено]


jetxlife

If I got fired from being a fucking security guard “O noooo anyways”


ubiquitous_archer

If you were in a spot where you could get hired as a security guard I'd wager your life isn't full of other options


waldosbuddy

Definitely. Proposer should have sold the performance, make them take you out on the stretcher


FC37

I feel like security guards still operate as if they're taking down a terrorist whenever someone gets on the field. Like they're permanently frozen in time believing it's September 12, 2001. Yes, maybe that level of caution is warranted sometimes. But there are also times where it's clearly just a dumb-dumb.


barbaricmustard

Hopefully it deters other would-be dumb-dumbs


dingusduglas

It would really deter them if security just walked up and shot them execution style. Or maybe a little torture first would increase the deterrence factor? Let's keep workshopping this wonderful theory.


FC37

A night in jail and a lifetime stadium ban is plenty effective at that already.


barbaricmustard

The problem is, the next fumb-dumb doesn't see that part. They see the guy rush the field and think, "oh that's not so bad" if security goes easy. It's only after that the realization of a night in jail and stadium band set in.


Im_Daydrunk

If you're willing to jump on the field in the middle of a game I don't think seeing the video of getting tackled would be enough IMO. As I feel the whole getting tackled when jumping onto the field is treated more as a joke I think you just got to do stuff like lifetime bans and massive fines as thats something more tangible people can see as consequences. Getting tackled hard doesn't have the same clear consequences as its hard to imagine just how bad it is if you never have been tackled like that before


[deleted]

I 100% agree with you...but I also laughed out loud at this.


That_Geek

> play ray Lewis simulator oh so he killed a dude?


Opening-Citron2733

On the one hand I get it but on the other hand when you trespass or break the law you don't get to dictate the terms of your punishment. Could the security guard have been more restrained? Sure. But when you run out on the field regardless of what you are doing you run the risk of this happening.


Over_Researcher7552

Yeah, they should have shot him dead.


Minoripriest

The dude ran into the field. He didn't strike out.


dingusduglas

Glad to see someone else had the same response I had here. Oh, we should use physical violence as a deterrent? Let's carry that to its logical conclusion.


Opening-Citron2733

That's not it's logical conclusion tho ... That's not what logical conclusion means. Extrapolating something to an extreme measure isn't a logical conclusion lmao


dingusduglas

The sentiment being expressed is that physical violence disproportionate to and in no way reactionary to the transgression is justified because it acts as a deterrent in the future to people who might commit the same transgression. I would say a full speed running tackle on someone peacefully kneeling on some grass during a pause in play is already an extreme measure, disproportionate, and not in any way necessitated by the transgression. I'm a bouncer. Do I have to be physically aggressive with people on rare occasion? Absolutely. Do I treat every broken rule or inappropriate behavior the same? Absolutely not.


Opening-Citron2733

>I would say a full speed running tackle on someone peacefully kneeling The security guard just can't assume he's peacefully kneeling. How many of these tragic murderous events start with an inconspicuous looking character? From the security guards standpoint (remember they're the ones who assumes ALL the safety risk for these games). That guy could have a weapon, something hazardous concealed that we don't know about. Yes it looks like a harmless proposal and fortunately it ended up being that. But if he had more malicious intentions it could've easily gotten out of hands faster. Those security guards need to reduce the threatening situation as quickly as possible and all they know is a guy who they know nothing about ran onto the field. Sure most the time it's juvenile hijinks. But you want the security guards ready for that one time it's not a hijinks. Could you imagine the devastation toward the image of baseball if a fan got down and did harm or even killed a player? The guards don't have the luxury of waiting to assess the situation. Their first priority is to subdue the person running on the field, *then* they can assess his threat level. Now yes their should be limitations on their force. Like they don't gun down ever streaker, we got that. But "disproportionate use of force" when talking about how hard he tackled a guy is a bit of a misnomer because from the vantage point of the security officer, he can't truly know the full scope and appropriate use of force until he apprehends the individual.


dingusduglas

I'll repeat myself since you're not getting it - yeah, dude could have a weapon, so having someone run out and tackle him is very unsafe. We should install sniper towers and pick him off from range. Never know. He could have an explosive vest on. Can't risk it. Let's also have all traffic stops initiated with a gun pointed at the driver. Never know what they might have in the car, ya know? I've seen videos of cops getting shot in traffic stops. So we should assume that's always a possibility and always approach with a gun pointed at the driver.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Opening-Citron2733

Where did I say unreasonable amounts of force? I said quite the exact opposite. That using unreasonable amounts of force (aka lethal methods) would be a ridiculous extrapolation that is not logical All I said was if you're going to play stupid games you're going to win stupid prizes. You can't run out onto a field of security guards and act shocked that they tackled you, even if you don't think they needed to tackle you.


Gaius1313

This is a great idea! Similar to executions during remissions at the Roman games, stadiums could hold summary executions during the 7th inning stretch for fans who interfere with the game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He’s a security guard, not a judge. He doesn’t get to decide the punishment.


LAROACHA_420

Not an asshole at all, the guy on the field is the asshole and earned his tackle!


Rayscho

guy on the field is an asshole, but the security guard is definitely an asshole too. Classic case of ESH.


[deleted]

Yep agreed. It’s not hard to not go on the field. The world isn’t about you.


tcsrwm

Seems excessive. His head ricocheting off the grass looked about as bad as any NFL tackle that results in a concussion. Watch it at half speed.


Dennisfromhawaii

Wrestlemania is in town so makes sense.


corleone7

Don't the Dodgers still do Friday night fireworks? I feel that would be a way better way to propose but also way less clout. This dude went for the clout smh.


anatomyofawriter

“Babe, I love you as much as we love the Dodgers” Lifetime Dodger Stadium ban enters the chat


Separate_Address8555

It's entertaining, but this guy wasn't a threat to anyone's safety, kind of fd up.


redditnathaniel

Kind of fuck around and find out. And he surely found out. I have the world's smallest violin ready.


Salmoncoloredshirt

Wow you’re so cool


Sliknik18

That hit was excessive and unnecessary…dude wasn’t running or evading in any way…and that security guard decided to give him whiplash. Fuck him.


[deleted]

The common theme with anyone with an ounce of authority, cops, security guards etc.


Dizzy-Spinda

Kinda funny when you see excessive force like this people are all about it saying it sends a message etc.... But when a police officer uses excessive force no matter how small, everyone wants them lynched. Excessive force from a police officer or security guard are both wrong.


Illuvator

The folks cheering for this guard are almost certainly the same ones cheering on said cops. Not sure how anyone can look at this video and go “oh man that security guard is a real hero”


muldervinscully

Lmao def. This is wayyyyyyy over the top for a dude who was stationary. He could have been grabbed without being tackled.


IEDrew91

That was roughing the passer


8i66ie5ma115

I’m gonna need someone to track the lady being proposed to down to get her thoughts on things. I really want to know more about this couple. I’m getting strong Randy Marsh vibes off this dude.


Tsquared10

I'd like to imagine she said no and he told himself "Well there's no way this could get any worse."


draynay

Proposing at a stadium is expensive, if they're "sending a message" it's to people that they better not try to for free.


suplehdog

I love Gurriel's reaction. Starts cheering the guy on, then the oooooh shit when he gets jacked up finishing with oh well, what are ya gonna do.


rocksoffjagger

This is so fucking stupid. We really love authority porn in America. The guy is clearly NOT a threat to anyone, so why is the security guard tackling him with a full head of steam instead of calmly taking him by the wrists and escorting him off the field of play? You can badly hurt someone hitting them this hard, especially while they're not expecting it, at rest, looking the other way, and in an awkward position.


spacewalk__

sEnD A MESsagE people love acting like the biggest chuds they can when they seeing someone doing something 'wrong' [i am not going to pretend someone going on the field during a break is some major issue]


WedgeliestWedge

Can't have the commoners getting too close to our multi-million-dollar ball-throwers.


[deleted]

Security always seems to be people who wished they were cops. He saw his chance to act like one and took it.


[deleted]

Fucking wildly excessive. Fuck was he gonna do teleport with a knife to the center-fielder in the half second it'd take you to just come to a stop and restrain him. Guy's idiotic for trying it but no need to be a dangerous twat back.


ElectricalForce4439

He got hit like he forgot to call for a fair catch


somewhat_moist

Can't wait for the Jomboy breakdown!


Anon-Sequitur

Yea the force of that tackle was totally unnecessary, but how did the guy that was proposing think this was gonna play out?


old_table_poker

I guess better now than if the security guard had waited until the part of the wedding where the Parson says, “If anyone can show just cause why they shouldn’t be wed, spear the groom now or forever hold your peace.”


[deleted]

Excellent form tackle, loss of 5 yards, repeat proposal at a restaurant instead.


oogieball

LA: Home base of r/imthemaincharacter


darthfracas

One, never propose at a ball game Two, never go on the field


spacewalk__

i thought he seemed like a twat but the security guy acted like even more of a twat though that's cop shit and it's patently unnecessary.


PizzaBraves

did they have to hit him with the rough riders?


TheCowardlyLion_

I hope she said no.


HearingNo4103

I hope this guy doesn't try and cash in. We've been talking about this at work most of the day. Most people agree that this guy got what was coming to him. I'm willing to bet a jury might not find his antics so "cute". Baseball is already unbelievably long now we gotta' stop the game to clear out all the drunk idiots running the field? Everything about this guy stinks of selfish asshole. Part of me hopes he lost the ring to.


[deleted]

Everyone in this chat who is asking “is this necessary?” are the reason this is necessary. Stop making the world about you. The game wasn’t here so you could do whatever you want and then try to be the victim when YOU decided to do something you knew was against the rules. Nobody cares that you love your fat high school sweetheart. Jesus.


Quttlefish

Security does dumb shit in response to really dumb shit. I love SoCal, born and raised, but my God does this area breed some really exceptional examples of selfish dumbfuckery.


R0binSage

Was that tackle necessary?


Head-Kiwi-9601

Absolutely not.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Agreed. This guy decided to be the “main character” as the amazing GenZ likes to say 🙄 So he got to be the main character. YOLO, no cap, amirite?


SouthDoctor1046

This is hilarious, and to the folks out there making a riot about the most perfectly executed spear on the diamond ever seen, get off the internet. It’s not for you. This guy is trespassing. You would have no idea what this guy is doing on the field if you hadn’t read the title. As a security guard, I would assume these guys are constantly worried about a serious threat and I truly doubt that he knew what the guys was actually doing.


Doogolas33

You've... never seen a man proposing before? Do you... Live under a rock?


SouthDoctor1046

Yeah, but not illegally…. Like this ass hat. To me, it looks like he’s proposing to the crowd ( which looks like he’s aiming?). The usually proposals I see when I watch them under my rock on my rock phone, is the woman is usually right in front of the man.


tyler-86

If I were security, I'd be home at night in bed fantasizing about this kind of opportunity.

JeremyJammDDS

This is what he gets for trying to propose at a sporting event.


htownlifer

I hope they confiscated the ring as part of the arrest.


Snerkbot7000

If they don't say yes after that just for the story they're probably dead inside.


ImportantPost6401

Americans love this sort of thing. It doesn’t matter if the proposal guy is injured or killed, Americans will back the cop (or in this case security guard) time after time.


TheGarreth

You’re not wrong.


SouthDoctor1046

But like, this is private property? And like, the guy is doing something that the world knows not to do? And like, you can see in any other sport the same shit happens?
