The clip shows the man and the girl participate in a playful run race, to which the man wins. He proceeds to repeatedly say “You could never” and the little girl breaks down and starts crying.
The Twitter post has now left peeps and parents on two opposite sides, with some saying the video shows harmless fun and the character building of the child. Whereas others claim the man was too insensitive to the child’s feelings, and even called him a sore winner.

Boy, 2, miraculously saves himself and parents from house fire with barely any words
Briefly News previously reported that a two-year-old boy has been credited for saving his family from a house fire. Nathan and Kayla Dahl from Texas in the US, were woken up by their toddler son Brandon on Monday, 17 January.
The Washington Post reported Brandon tapped his mother on foot while notifying her about the raging inferno with the few words he knew.
“Mama hot, Mama hot,” he said. Kayla said she initially thought the boy wanted his pyjamas removed but soon realised what he wanted to tell her.
“I turned around. I looked and all I saw was flames in the doorway,” she said.
Following Brandon’s warning, the family safely made it outside, but their house was burned to the ground.
