1000% yes. Especially when the suck at it.
I think it depends
If it is short toss and they are being careful I would let it go
If they are whipping the ball with high velocity and disregard to people and cars around them I would say something

That’s always interesting. Watching people toss a ball around a tailgate is part of the whole scene. But when they’re all drunk and sloppy and it’s going all over = gets REAL annoying REAL quick
Ok herecis what happened
Initially a bunch of teenagers in Michigan unis were tossing the football and hit my friends Mercedes
My friend told them..thats it leave
Okay a few minutes later about 4 17 bit maybe as old as 19 yelear old Rutgers fans started throwing near us and my buddy said please lets not do this here we got hit. Now normally people say ok and move away and say ok but they argues back and said its a tailgate and if we hit you we will say we are sorry
I told them why the **** cant you respect the boundaries. They left and came bac again. Usually my buddy who is hotheaded kept his cool and stood his ground even as they kept jawing
Were we wrong..is it that hard to go and throw the football on the grass somewhere.
The younger generation has no respect...18 year olds mouthing to 50 somethings in their tailgating space

Younger gen for sure lacking in respect and people skills by and large.
A good hunting knife to the football will solve everything. Give them the John Belushi Animal House guiter "sorry"
Lol I thought you were a baby boomer. Not some Milennial or generation z that needs to ask a message board how to handle this !
The problem is, if you ask them to not do it, there is a possibility that they will wait until you leave your car and then dent your car. Once I had someone throw chicken wings at my car after I left it because I pissed them off when I was at my car. No dents though.
Would you be asking if it was a Pinto?

They kept saying they were athletes like it was some secret code word
60 lol..im 53 tomorrow have you seen the way i grip a lo bro
Ok then 6 years plus you will be 60!
Now go kick their *** !
and happy birthday bac!
It's fine. Ask once. Stab ball with your pocket knife the second time.
says every generation ever
Bullcrap. My dad would slap me silly if I acted like today's kid. He was a 2 time all state high school football player. Linebacker and offensive line guy. I was taller but his hands were huge. You only needed to get slapped by them once in your lifetime.
Today's parents and participating trophys have made this generation fearless. They feel they can do anything
And we have the right to tell them we are going to shove it up their *** if they dont move away
And they , or me, can say OK
Bring it.
Kids are gonna have their ball go astray.
**** happens.
5x? That might be an issue
Once? Pound sand
I literally had this happen today. Tossed the ball back, and told the kids "all good".
You weren't wrong. I would have told them not to throw it. If they continued, I would have grabbed the football out of my car followed them back to their car started playing in front of it. Missed on purpose and said, "Sorry".
It’s right telling the kids that hit his car to leave. They hit his car.
Dont think it was right to tell the other kids to leave if they didn’t hit his car. It is a tailgate and footballs have always flown at tailgates. So see no issue with kids throwing.

"Rough" a kid @ my tailgate and see what happens tough guy.
We're suppoesed to encourage kids. Not make them afraid of offending old a$$holes.
Kids are gonna be inconvenient sometimes. But. Those are the same kids that will face bullets for you morons later in life.
