Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley was caught on camera making a pretty disgusting move against one of his teammates while sitting in the dugout.
During Sunday afternoon’s game against the New York Mets, Austin Riley was caught on camera sticking his finger between the legs of one of his teammates who was standing in front of him watching the game.
It appeared that Riley was trying to tickle one of his teammates in a private place.

“Ayo Austin Riley,” Jomboy Media said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
While some clearly had no problem with this, believing that this is just a normal act between teammates in the dugout thta’s no big deal, a lot of fans found the act absolutely disgusting and offered their reactions on social media.
I’m all for a good butt slap in sports.
But what the Austin Riley and the Atlanta Braves are doing is a different level.

As for the game, the Braves ultimately got the better of the Mets, winning the game by a score of 9-2. Riley played well in the game, as well, totaling two hits and a walk with a home run and two runs batted in.
But that doesn’t erase all of the reactions to the viral video of his act in the dugout.
