Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek apologized after a viral incident at the U.S. Open where he snatched a tennis hat from a young fan, initially defending his actions with a 'first come, first served' comment, but later expressing regret and returning the hat following widespread criticism and damage to his reputation and business.
Drogbruk CEO Piotr Szczerek went viral after a video showed him snatching a signed cap meant for a child at the US Open, sparking criticism and a social media backlash. Szczerek defended his actions as 'first come, first served,' but the incident damaged his and his company's reputation, leading to negative reviews and online debate about sportsmanship and accountability. The controversy was somewhat mitigated when tennis player Kamil Majchrzak found the child and gifted him an autographed cap, turning the incident into a positive story.
