66. He's a CEO, but what's he's said today is far more apologetic

CEO who snatched boy's hat at US Open says he made 'huge mistake'

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 know I did something that seemed like consciously collecting a memento from a child," he wrote in a statement. "This wasn't my intention, but it doesn't change the fact that I hurt the boy and disappointed the fans."

The 50-year-old wrote on social media on Monday: "I would like to unequivocally apologise to the injured boy, his family, as well as all the fans and the player himself."

He added that he had given the hat back to the boy, and hoped that it had "at least partially repaired the damage that was done".

It's possible that someone told him "for fuck's sake, grow up and apologise, or your business will go under", but it's also possible the first "statement" wasn't really him.
