On Instagram, he wrote: “The recent incident during the tennis match has caused a disproportionate uproar online. It all revolves around the famous cap, of course. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I’ve always said, in life, it’s first come, first served. I understand that this might not please some people, but please, let’s not turn this hat into a global scandal. It’s just a cap. If you were faster, you would have had it. Regarding the online hate, I remind you that insulting a public figure is subject to legal prosecution. All offensive comments, slanders, and insinuations will be analyzed for possible legal action.”

Oh for sure, that CEO is the asshole here. It’s just that the public is so mobilized to right this particular wrong when both sides come from privilege.
