Piotr Szczerek, a Polish chief executive of a paving firm, said he was "convinced" tennis star Kamil Majchrzak had been "passing his hat in my direction".
I think that's the most type-A personality thing I've ever heard
If you're talking about the statement that said something asking the lines of "I did it, in life you have to be quick or you miss out" that was likely a fake statement to generate quick money from rage bait. A similar thing happened with the CEO who was caught having an affair.
Not excusing the actions of this clown, just trying to say I couldn't find anything showing that was real and it's almost cartoonishly evil so I don't think he actually said it
“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.
“In the end, chin up, hats off, less venom, more sportsmanship.”

"I'm sorry I got caught"

A normal person in that situation probably wouldn’t just grab the hat. I hope I’d at least ask before just grabbing it.
He showed the Dark Triad that everyone who strives to be CEO develops.

The hat was not glued to the kid's head so I took it.
