If you have been watching the networks this weekend, surely you have seen The video in which a tennis player gives his cap to a child, but the man next to him rises from his hands. What followed was a good example that when the Internet is organized, you can get almost what you propose.
What happened. It happened during the US Open that is being held in New York. Last Thursday, after the match against Russian Karen Khachanov, Polish tennis player Kamil Majchrzak approached the stands and began to sign autographs for his fans. One of them was a child of about 10 years who asked for his cap, to which the tennis player agreed. He did not give him time to smile: the man next to him snatched it and, making deaf ears to the kid’s complaints, puts it in a bag that his wife carried. The two smile proud, without being aware that everything has been recorded. The tennis player did not realize and continued signing, leaving the child without a gift.
Internet detectives to rescue. The video It quickly went viral And the answer was swift. Outraged, many people began to investigate To identify man. On the other hand, another initiative was launched to try to find the child. After watching the video, the tennis player himself published in Your Instagram account A call to meet with the kid and be able to give him the cap that had been removed in front of his noses.
Caught. On Saturday 30, two days after the incident, man was identified. This is Piotr Szczerek, a Polish millionaire and owner of the Drugbruk paving company. In addition to innumerable publications shaving your behaviorInternet found another way to make him pay his bad gesture: Fry the company to negative reviews. We do not know what your score was before, but currently Drugbruk has 1.4 on Google, A 2 in Tustpilot and a 1.4 in goworka Polish review site. There have also been users who They have sent critical messages through the company’s contact mailbox. The wave of criticism has made both Szczerek and his wife deactivate his accounts on social networks, according to The Sunday Times.
This sounds to us. Although nothing to do with the fact of the theft of the cap, it reminds us of the case of Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, to whom the KISS-CAM From a Coldplay concert he presented while he had an adventure with its HR director. The parallels are clear: the identification of the protagonists thanks to the networks, the fierce criticisms (which in the case of Byron They flowed into their resignation), that both are millionaires and have a company … but above all the fact that the protagonists did not expect to be recorded. There is even another resemblance: in both cases letters of apology have been published of the two protagonists who have turned out to be false (as of this publication, Szczerek has not pronounced on the controversy).
Happy end. After the publication of the tennis player, thanks to the networks He could locate it and met him. The player posted an image with the boy, called Brock, carrying a cap very similar to the one that took him a few days ago. In the end the child has been the best standing of this whole story.
