Terrible risk vs reward. Do you debate that or whats your point?

The subtle point is that life is not perfect. The perfect dad may not have risked their infant for catching the ball but human nature does not abide to perfection. It’s easy to be an arm-chair critic, but until you truly have put yourself in another one’s shoes for a mile, you really don’t know how and why they are thinking and acting the way that they do (in my humble opinion).

It's easier not to be a moron of a dad, and prioritize catching a ball over your child's safety
