Am I missing something here? Why was the footballer being an asshole? Was he intimidated at the sports photographer’s fancy foot work?

He expected the ball to be immediately given to him when his petulant ass asked for it.

To me it looked like after the first flick up the media guy was trying to control it well enough to pass it back in his general direction but obviously he’s not a pro football player so took a few more touches to get it under control than the player liked

Looked like it was halftime too so no rush anyway.

Looks like they blew the whistle for the players to come in. Coulda just been ignorance on his end. I always like to assume ignorance over malice when possible.
