So we're saying that child wasn't his son, that he is the piece of shit that the video makes him out to be?

Just that I read your link and it didn't clearly state as much

    Holy heck, the CEO's response:

    “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 don't think that looks like a healthy father son interaction. My reaction would be to hype three cap to him and offer a photo, not to snatch, put in a bag and proceed to ignore the son who's clearly distressed.

    I'm not a piece of shit father, YMMV

    The reaction by the kids is clearly asking for help either way, and he knew he’d never see that hat again if he didn’t protest like he did.

    If the CEO was his dad, he’s abusive and an asshole. Might be both anyway from the CEO’s response and actions afterward.
