Pick up a set of dollar store headphones. Give to said guy next time when needed. I love killing with kindness and this is such a prime scenario to do it in. The entire spectrum of possible responses are all going to be delicious and something to behold. Does he graciously and humorously accept? Does he accept quietly? Does he reject but turn his phone down? Does he get angry/aggressive and cause a scene?
I don't see an outcome where his phone isn't plugged into headphones, turned down/off, or he has to leave the premises. For a few dollars you have not just a win, but a guaranteed flawless victory. Unless he up and murders you while waiting for his kid to finish class, but you'll have to decide the risk factor on that yourself. Someone so enamored with footy they have to watch highlights on full blast in public will probably take a dive and fake an injury.
