Rejected On The Jumbotron

There was a new player on the NBA court, but her game isn’t basketball. During halftime at a Rocket’s game, her man got on bended knee to propose. As he tried to score his lady mid-court, even the announcers joked that she just had to say yes while they’re in public and could then change her mind after. But unfortunately, she must not have heard them because she totally blocked his pass.  As she ran off the court to the sound of the stadium booing her, he kissed his beer. Poor guy! Where’s the ref when you need to call a foul?! [You Tube: NBA Marriage Proposal]

So I have two theories about a proposal done in such a public forum:
1. The guy felt 100% sure she would say yes.
2. The guy knew she might not, but felt like a public forum would force her (well, not, in this case) to say “yes”.
If the guy’s reason was #1, I am super sad for him that he was so wrong about his girlfriend’s feelings for him. If the reason was #2, it probably means he’s mega-controlling and maybe she was smart.

I don’t think I would enjoy getting proposed to at a public event even if I were going to say “yes.”
