Why not post an article that actually includes the facts subby?

White Sox strike out again, lose to Orioles

The game was briefly delayed in the top of the seventh when a young boy who appeared to about 4 or 5 years old slipped through a barricade and went running across the outfield. With the crowd laughing, White Sox left fielder Dayan Viciedo scooped him up and handed him over to a security guard.
Viciedo, who has a 2-year-old son, said he reacted instinctively.
"My first reaction was to grab him," Viciedo said through an interpreter. "What I was thinking was hoping a ball doesn't come and hit him."
"I didn't know if the play had stopped or not," he said.
The child and his family were ejected from the game per Major League Baseball rules but no charges were filed, the team said.
"Safety is our No. 1 concern and we are happy that the child is fine," White Sox spokesman Scott Reifert said in a statement. "Obviously it was a non-issue for Dayan who was able to field the kid cleanly."
"But going on the field is stuff we do take seriously. It's not something we condone in any way," he said.

// Hey Dad? How come we never go to any baseball games?

That kid will have something for show and tell in a few days.

Hopefully his parents keep the video as a reminder that if you bring kids to the ball park, go for the middle or upper deck. That way they can't get on the field, but you can still enjoy the game.

Why did they kick out the whole family and not just the kid? Chicago socialists!

When I read that I laughed so hard out loud, co-workers are looking at me. Glad someone else... err... caught it... As it were.

Bad parenting goes hand in hand with white sox fans. At least he didn't beat up the first base coach.

At least the kids aren't letting their parents on the field like in that rangers game last year.

Dude, if this had somehow been worked into a headline, you'd be in the running for Sports Tab HOTY.

I cringed. Nice work.

Should have given the kid equal treatment like they do anyone else running on the field and tazed him 45 times until his organs were oozing out his nose.

I don't think you are understanding the gravity of that situation ...

A bit biased here, but generally video provides more information than words without video.

Did the video show the kid being thrown out? No, they just show him being carried off the field.

Did the announcers say that the kid and his family were being thrown out? No

When the Fark headline announces facts that are not in the video, must one assume omniscience from subby?

I say no, even if reading is hard for some.

/Presumably you want Fark to adopt video headlines without text?

The rash of streakers at MLB parks continued today on the south side of Chicago, as a young pup undoubtedly fueled by Skittles and apple juice ran onto the field

Fully clothed ≠ "streaker", Deadspin.

Also, Skittles? Good thing he wasn't wearing a hoodie, or a security guard would have shot him.
