If this rejected public proposal is real, it’s the most brutal in sports history

Something amazing happened at the Columbia Fireflies game — what we don’t know is whether it’s real or not.

This is just so dang cold. She takes the purse and straight up leaves! Do not pass Go, do not collect $200 — out of there.

Here’s the deal with the failed public proposal: Teams LOVE to fake them as a joke. It’s happened so many times before, and normally when it happens for real teams don’t show every second of it on the big screen. Take the real failed proposal at the Red Sox game in May. When that happened the team cut away IMMEDIATELY when they realized what happened, and both parties left Fenway. They also spent time discussing what happened, not just one person peacing out. But every couple is different.

Apparently the dude in this proposal stuck around drinking on his own.

Now we’re left wondering if this really was real. What do you think?
