Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass appeared to troll the detractors on social media Monday over a popcorn problem on a United flight over the weekend.
Bass said his pregnant wife, Sydney Rae Bass, who is the sister of Jessie James Decker, was forced to pick up popcorn their 2-year-old daughter spilled on the ground. The complaint from the pitcher prompted a ton of responses on social media – everything from support for counterarguments.

Bass appeared to get the last laugh on Monday night when he posted a photo on his social media accounts of his daughter holding a bag of popcorn and smiling. The pitcher also added that the issue was being handled internally.
The firestorm started Sunday when the veteran major leaguer complained about a flight attendant.
"The flight attendant @united just made my 22 week pregnant wife traveling with a 5 year old and 2 year old get on her hands and knees to pick up the popcorn mess by my youngest daughter. Are you kidding me?!?!" he wrote.
