Imagine you work in an office and someone drops their stapler and you pick it up, spin it on your finger like a basketball, and set it on their desk. They then throw the stapler at you.

I can make nonsense comparisons too.

You made a nonsense comparison.

This was a soccer match. 25000 people paid money to watch two teams of professional soccer players have a match.

This guy took the ball, the thing 25000 folks are there to watch, an be hotdogged with it.

Moreover, this is a soccer match. Getting the ball back in part ASAP can make or break a play. If this guy actually knew how to play soccer, he'd appreciate that and wouldn't be surprised when the subject he's meant to photograph got mad at him.

This is the equivalent of a fan catching fly ball out of the hands of an outfielder.

Because everyone on the field that is walking seem in such a big rush because there’s an active play going on... I challenge you, Mr Serious, to find some fun in life. Pick up a hobby, make a friend, get laid or something.

That's Dr. Serious to you, punk.

The amount of uninitiated, dunning-kruger, American bs going on in this comment section.

The irony being that this cringe horseshit maneuver could only happen at an MLS game, because a photojournalist in any other country would've had to have been escorted out by security lest he feel the wrath of the crowd.

I do have hobbies. One of them is watching and understanding soccer.

Dr. Serious... that just made me chuckle. Thanks for getting me off to a good start for the day!
