This reporter of the Braves did not surprise the number of a fan, but his teammates are calling for foul.
A segment of the Fanduel Sports Network showing the reporter Wiley Ballard who asks for the duration of a woman’s digits, Atlanta’s 8-4 victory over the tiles, has set fire to highlighting a double standard in journalism.
“If a woman who covered a game began to hit fans and requesting her numbers on television, they would be crucified on the Internet and fired,” Kylen Mills published Big Ten Network in X.
“But here you see that this inappropriate behavior is celebrated as ‘the standard’ by a series of people in the comments. Misoginia is alive and good!”
The segment was found with Ballard asking for the names of two women standing in the courtyard of the crown roof inside the Rogers center during the fifth entrance.
After an interaction of the letter, one of the Los Bravos announcers said: “Ok, Wiley. You have five entrances, four entries, to obtain the numbers.”
“I’m in that,” Ballard replied before taking his phone.
“Very good, so they want you to get your number,” Ballard told the woman to her left.
The transmission cabin began to laugh before the woman replied: “Did they want you to get my number?”
Ballard replied: “I’m serious, they tell me in my ear right now. She doesn’t believe me because she thinks you are inventing this.”
The field reporter who realized that he had a new collection line.
“I could use that in the future, that is a real movement,” Ballard said while all scratched a single for left in a 4-0 game.
The Bravos stand intervened.
“This is incredible,” said a announcer.
The other continued: “The best part of this is at this time that Wiley could be totally pretending this. This could be the new movement. Simply walk with a Fanduel microphone and a ear and convince fans that they are really on television.”
The camera then cut Ballard and the two fans, with the woman apparently inserting her number on her phone.
“I should have thought about this years ago,” said Ballard, causing laughter from his broadcasting companions.
The woman laughed before returning her phone to Ballard, who exclaimed: “I have the number, we are fine.”
The moment becomes viral thanks to a tweet from Miles Garrett or Fox 5 Atlanta, which has seen 1.6 million times like Tuesday morning in the morning.
Garrett praised Ballard for his efforts.
“Shout my boy @wileyballard_ configuring the standard for sports reporters who get a telephone number in nature,” Garrett published. “0/10 work”.
Ballard only one return of the victory by publishing a fixed image of “Good Will Hunting” where Matt Damon’s character, Will Hunting, slaps a napkin with the number of a woman in a glass while boasting a man with whom he had discussed before. “
Many, thought, had problems with the segment.
“If a female bank/dugout reporter did this, they would call it horrible names and will probably run out of the city,” said Evan Grant of Dallas Mornging News in X.
“On the other side, here is a television host basically telling Dudy that he asked for telephone numbers:” My man. “It is not the same for both sexes.
The predators reporter added Emma Lingan: “If this were a female reporter who requested the number of a man, he would not be professional. But if a man does, it is fun and acceptable to take multiple laps of the victory after doing. Misoginia is alive and life is alive and alive is alive and lively and lively and lively!” “” “” “”.
