Red Sox fan proposed at Fenway Park and it went horribly wrong (Video)

Please, never propose to your significant other at a sporting event.
Just don’t do it. It’s not worth the humiliation that ensues after they say no.
If you want to share your proposal with thousands of people do a Facebook live stream or a Periscope. Or, I have a better idea, just do it in an Italian restaurant like a normal human being. Drop the ring in the champagne, hope they don’t swallow it, and boom, you’re now engaged.
See? You didn’t have to share the whole process with 40,000 people waiting with bated breath to hear a response. It’s cute and “romantic,” but honestly we, as fans, just came to watch a game; not to watch a flawed engagement proposal.
On April 30 at a Red Sox game, a fan decided to propose to his girlfriend and it went horribly wrong when she said no and the two had a very public argument afterward. Here is the aftermath, courtesy of Kim DeMattia’s video she posted on Twitter.
Trust me, I really, really want to feel bad for the guy. I kinda do, if that’s worth anything. But, honestly, he had it coming. He broke rule No. 1: Don’t propose at a sporting event, because if you do and she says no, you will be humiliated for the rest of your life.
Not only did his girlfriend say no, but they started to argue afterward. I feel worse for the camera man than I do for the guy who proposed; is that bad?
In the video, you can hear remarks such as, “Oh no,” “Are you serious?”, and “Everyone’s watching.” That, my friends, is exactly why you don’t propose at a sporting event. If everything goes awry, everyone in the stadium will be watching and questioning why you attempted this feat in the first place.
The funniest part about the video is not even the proposal, rather the camera man who is standing in front of them. He casually turns around to see if they’re still arguing, which they are, so he quickly turns back around to watch the game.

From all of us at the FanSided family, please, for the love of God and all that is holy, do not, I repeat: Do not propose at a sporting event. The cons severely outweigh the pros.
Resist the urge.
