Viral Harassment
Viral Giants game broadcast sparks severe online harassment and debate over couple.
Anonymous
A viral broadcast clip from a San Francisco Giants game showed Erika carrying her baby and several plates of food to her seat while her husband, Ramses, began eating; announcers called her “mom of the year,” prompting viewers to criticize him. Erika later said she had offered to pick up food, encouraged Ramses to eat first because she had already eaten, and declined his offers to help with the food and share his sandwich; the outing was also intended to help him remember a childhood friend who had recently died. The couple initially laughed at the broadcast, Erika said, but online criticism escalated to personal attacks, including messages urging Ramses to kill himself and the disclosure of private contact information.
Key Points
1
Erika said she and Ramses had been together for nine years and were raising “two under two”; their baby was identified as Anastasia.
2
The broadcasters returned to the family several times during the game, joking that Ramses had asked whether Erika had forgotten something and that she would be “the last one to eat”—commentary that helped frame the brief scene for viewers.
3
Erika said she declined Ramses’ offer to take the containers partly because she was comfortable holding them and wanted to keep them off the stadium floor; she also said he offered to hand-feed her.
4
The viral clip came from the Giants’ game against the Minnesota Twins at Oracle Park, and the footage drew millions of views after it was shared on X.
