A public marriage proposal at a Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox Major League Baseball game over the weekend went horribly wrong, as shocked spectators watched on.
In a viral video that has received over 200,000 in under 48 hours, a fan can be seen stopping his girlfriend as she walks down the stairs to her seat in the stadium, midgame.
The man then pulled his confused girlfriend towards him, kissed her, said “I love you” as he began to kneel down, leaving the young woman gasping in disbelief with her hand over her mouth, anticipating what would happen next.

The gesture immediately drew the attention of spectators sitting in the Rogers Centre grandstand close by, as people began to pull out their cameras to video what happened next.
Assuming the proposal would be smooth sailing, official camera crew for the game also started videoing the moment to share on the big screens.
The man then knelt on the stair case and pulled a black box out of his left jean pocket and to the woman and crowds astonishment, opened the box to reveal a Ring Pop.

Upon seeing the red lollipop ring, the young woman immediately, expeditiously, and without delay slapped her partner, as Blue Jays fans shrieked in horror.
“What the f–k is wrong with you,” she said while throwing her drink at the man.
While the details as to whether the proposal was genuine or a prank are yet to be uncovered, social media users were quick to point out an important feature of the video.
It is believed the man had the intention of proposing with a “real” ring after the initial joke and surprise of the Ring Pop, given he had what appears to be another smaller box in his left pocket.
The proposal video divided viewers on social media, with Reddit users in particular unsure of which camp they should be in and who exactly was at fault for this failed proposal.
“The guy pulled a jerk move. If he cannot be serious for something important imagine what type of clown he is day to day,” said one user.
“That’s an indication of how the rest of his life would go marrying her … move on dude,” agreed another, as hundreds of commenters suggested this was a “big relationship red flag”.
Users were also quick to come to the man’s defense saying “You’re crazy if you think the guy is at blame” and “I get that she didn’t like this, but it’s no reason to slap him across the face. Especially in front of thousands.”
