Phillies Karen is Absolutely Dominating the Internet
Published:
Oh boy! That escalated quickly. The Phillies Karen from Friday night is all over the internet. We haven’t seen something this viral since the Harlem Shake and Macarena. She’s making K Pop Demon Hunters look like a small beans indie film.
If you’re living under a rock and unaware, a woman wearing Phillies gear missed out on a Harrison Bader home run ball that landed near her. It was scooped up by a dad a few seats over, who gave it to his son. Then the Karen came over and gave the dad an earful, so the dad capitulated and handed it over just to make her go away. The Marlins were alerted to what happened, and they gave the kid a bag of gifts, then there was a meet and greet with Harrison Bader after the game. Both teams made right by the kid while Karen was booed relentlessly by the people sitting around her:
Good to see the teams take care of the young man. And for people saying the dad is a pussy, sometimes as a parent you have to think about the message you’re sending to your kid. He could have kept the ball, or slapped the Karen across her Karen head, but he was just trying to take the high road and defuse the situation, so to each their own.
RE: doxxing, that’s shit and always will be. Phillies Karen is all over the internet and got her comeuppance, so going after the woman and her job is overkill. But we can enjoy all of the memes because she did it to herself:
