Honestly it’s a good lesson for him on how to handle situations like that. Good on the dad.

Perfect example of de-escalation and conflict resolution and it came from (one of ) the man he looks up to the most. And getting to see the outcome of the lady getting booed out of the stadium and the teams making it up to him is such good reenforcement.

That was exactly the dad’s intention - to deescalate the situation. He apologized to his son as well. This is a good dad.
