CEO grabbing a tennis star’s hat which was being given to a child

Not really. He only did it because he got caught and is being public shat on. If no one saw this, he would've never done anything to make this right for the kid

Edit: My bad. Misread this. Good on the player for doing something nice. Fuck the rich prick still

The CEO didn't do shit. The tennis player did the good thing.

Which is totally what the CEO was planing to do anyways and definitely wasn't because he was caught on camera and then publicly shamed.

thomasloven@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 350d

The tennis player did. Not the CEO.

Jax@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 350d (3 replies)

CEO didn't do anything, the tennis player did — if you're ESL I understand, but otherwise you gotta read more carefully.

Nope. No excuse for me, thanks for the correction.

“The recent incident at the tennis match has caused a disproportionate online uproar. It’s all about the famous hat, of course. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I’ve always said, life is first come, first served,” he claimed.

This guy is a piece of shit.

Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 71 pts · 351d (7 replies)

He also threatened to sue everyone 1-starring his business and claimed their IP addresses were given to police.

Real piece of work, hope people won't forget about this

Ohh no, that's terrible. Where should I avoid 1-starring him? Like, what urls specifically?

Be careful! He's giving your IP to the police.

Because the police will do anything at all. Giving negative reviews is not a crime. And a lawsuit is not criminal court. The police will not get involved.

Too bad it doesn't seem it was actually him that wrote it

Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 350d (2 replies)

But then he gave the hat back to the boy it was meant for, right? He didn't just offer an empty apology and claim he is a otherwise an amazing person without actually making things right, right?

ICastFist@programming.dev · 3 pts · 350d (1 reply)

That he took the hat and only gave it back because it blew up on the internet is pretty factual, but that initial quote showing how much of an absolute asshole he is can only be traced back to Reddit, where the pics were deleted no less.

Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 350d

I can't find anything saying he gave it back. I can find articles with him denying he ever said what is claimed above while saying he has to fix his image but doesn't go as far as saying he is going to give that specific hat back. There is also nothing that independently confirms it and that it was based on a Reddit post alone.

There is zero reason to give a ceo the benefit of the doubt, anymore than there is a reason to give the police the benefit of the doubt. We are living in a time where the powerful act without shame and only apologize when caught.

Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 105 pts · 351d (2 replies)

Rich asshole who has everything he could ever want, including a hat sees someone being kind to a child and rushes in to make sure the intended kindness goes to him.

He's like this 100% of the time, guaranteed. Being an absolute piece of shit like this is rewarded under capitalism, which is why he's a CEO.

If this is how he treats a small boy at a tennis match while being filmed, imagine how badly he treats his customers and staff behind closed doors.

Ban him from buying tickets or being the guest of anyone from all professional tennis competitions for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz · 31 pts · 350d (1 reply)

Wait, isn't this actually a crime, a robbery? The hat was very clearly being given to the child, not to the asshat.

When he took it, it belonged either to Kamil Majchrzak, the tennis player giving the hat to the boy, or to the boy, Brock, it was being given to. I'd say a police investigation and a punishment of some kind would definitely make sense here. If you steal from a child like that, you should get registered as having made a crime.

This is liie the killing thing, kill one perosn its.murder, kill several thosand you're a war hero.

Fuck over one kod, you're a monster, fuck over millions you're the Presodent of the US, or in charge of a bank or medical insurer.

These asshats get this rich by being like this, not sure why the angst in this specific case.

ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 12 pts · 350d

people are simple, especially emotionally.
show someone a powerpoint presentation about how this guy is stealing from millions of children: little to no response.
a clear video of him stealing directly from a child: people mad.
plus there’s a lot of videos of people catching a baseball and giving it to the nearest kid… having some sports hero’s hat as an adult is nothing compared to the joy a kid would get out of it.

In case anyone's as lazy as me here is the summary.

He said that's just how the world works and child should have simply been faster. Note that child already took the hat first and he took it from the kid's hands a full second after.

He also said anyone else would do the same.

Also not written but he is one of the sponsors of this team and could meet privately with the player whenever he wants. So he just wanted to steal from a child that day.

Looks like they're together, like a family of four, and the father who also is a ceo put the hat in thier bag so they don't lose it while trying to get as much signed as possible.

I hope none of it is valuable.

So we're saying that child wasn't his son, that he is the piece of shit that the video makes him out to be?

Better article as it includes the CEOs response

Polish CEO’s company review bombed after stealing hat from a child at tennis game

Uncurious3512@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 351d (2 replies)

Holy heck, the CEO's response:

“The recent incident at the tennis match has caused a disproportionate online uproar. It’s all about the famous hat, of course. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I’ve always said, life is first come, first served,” he claimed.

“I understand that some people might not like it, but please, let’s not make a global scandal out of the hat. It’s just a hat. If you were faster, you would have it. Regarding online hate, I remind you that insulting a public figure is subject to legal liability. All offensive comments, slander, and insinuations will be analyzed for the possibility of taking the matter to court.

It’s such bullshit too. “If you were faster…” he says. The kid had it in his hand. He stole it.

Railcar8095@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 351d (2 replies)

I don't think that looks like a healthy father son interaction. My reaction would be to hype three cap to him and offer a photo, not to snatch, put in a bag and proceed to ignore the son who's clearly distressed.

I'm not a piece of shit father, YMMV

anomnom@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 351d

The reaction by the kids is clearly asking for help either way, and he knew he’d never see that hat again if he didn’t protest like he did.

If the CEO was his dad, he’s abusive and an asshole. Might be both anyway from the CEO’s response and actions afterward.

Okay moving past you being entirely wrong, we'll just put that aside for a second. I am fascinated how your apparent reading of body language. Because that video in no way shows a family. It shows a guy snatching something from a child and the child clearly showing outrage that they were just robbed. We're on Earth do you get that as a family unit? Even ignoring that they don't look anything alike.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 350d

Exactly, so where was that kid's parents? I've been to a lot of pro games of every type, and if a dickhead did that to my kid, he'd give it back with an apology, or we're ALL getting kicked out.

Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 351d

You don't have to make up fanfic about how the person being a dickhead to a child must be right just because he's a CEO.

This isn't publicfreakout on reddit.

Taleya@aussie.zone · 18 pts · 351d

I thought the same...then his response landed. He took it because he saw it as his. Absolute shitwig

Soup@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 350d

The kid is clearly upset and if you can’t read that written all over his face and body language you really have no business making any kind of assumptions here.
