Judge for yourselves...glad they caught this troll on video.

There's a difference in reaching FOR an item and taking it out of someone's hands. HUGE difference...I've had this dilemma with getting gloves after football games. UNBELIEVABLE some of the creeps that will pull your arm, claw, kick etc to get a glove out of your hands. Thank God for elbows!

She should be identified and fully embarrassed. Maybe she will have as sweet of a story as the lovebirds in Texas.

There is being oblivious and self centered and then getting in a kids face and ripping the cleat from his hands. I would assume that the kids is not allowed to repeat those words.

I noticed that too - I youtubed "Donald Driver Cleats" or something similar and found it rather easily.

Deadspin has it up with a follow up that a journalist had tracked down the kid and Driver was going to make sure he got the cleat he deserved.

Driver tracked down the kid and gave him a slew of stuff too. Driver and the kid are really class acts it seems in the end.

honestly from the vid I have seen the cleat landed on the dugout in front of the woman. the kid reached for it at the same time at the woman, I'm not saying that the woman should continued tugging and fighting with the kid but just recently we had a thread on here saying that people were tired of kids and their parents thinking they are somehow more deserving than others for items........
