There are actually tweets about how she should feel sorry for him and his family and ruining him....this country is pathetic.
I know I'm going to be preaching to the choir here, but there really is something supremely fucked up that people legitimately use "you're going to ruin his life" as a defense for holding him fucking accountable for his actions.
It's the same in plenty of places. Here in Peru the goalkeeper of our national football (soccer for you who for some reason call it that) team and the local team I'm a fan of was discovered having an affair recently, it was on the news and his wife made it public that she was breaking up and filing for divorce. Dude made a public apology and an insta post about the situation. It went about as planned, plenty of people (women in media included, sadly) were telling the wife to make amends and think of the family she was breaking up with. A woman even went for the classic "boys will be boys". It was terrible to witness.
You can look it up if you want, GK's name is Pedro Gallese, maybe you'll find some English sources.
What did you mean? Did you flail wildly only to accidentally hit her in the ass? No?
Then fuck off
So glad they arrested this asshole.
No sympathy for him. Of course his entire community will pile on the victim.

What a weird thing to say. As if it matters. "I wouldnt have smacked your ass on live television if I had only known you were 'amazing' and 'talented'."
How fucking dumb do you have to be to smack and grab a woman's ass....literally on live TV. What a dipshit.
But you won't have any prominent Christians come out and admonish this because as we know religious zealots look out for each other and ignore anything that doesn't look good for them.
He lost his balance and was flailing around wildly. His hand smacked against her ass as a result, and he grabbed on to stabilize himself. You know, it's just gravity and physics, man. He didn't mean to dehumanize and objectify her! She seems like a great ASSet to their community!
Bullshit! I'm not buying his story about him missing the back and hitting her ass.
For a man who has 2 teenage daughters, to do this in front of a camera says a lot of the guy.
What I always think with stuff like this is since you have the confidence and audacity to do something like this in public what are you doing in private
Ugh, this fucking guy has no shame
Discusting that this narrative can be pushed into media without repercussion. (Lying)
Ehh, I'm not so sure. At least I hope not. He'd definitely be removed from his position if he were in my church. I don't know of any church around me that would demonize the woman. Let's see if they do that, would be crazy.
The fact that all these titles still have variants of "runner accused" brings my blood to a boil when THE WHOLE THING IS ON FUCKING VIDEO. FFS.
Arrested for sexual battery.
Good that he got banned from the event and arrested, I mean fuck, it's on camera, can't deny anything unless you're fucking blind, the intent is all there.
Fucking scum.
Fucking scum.
Imagine being a father of two teenage girls and this is what he does in front of a camera.
Imagine what his wife and daughters are going though.
I don't think his marriage lasts.
"I was getting ready to bring my hands up and wave to the camera to the audience, there was a misjudge in character and decision-making."
Not only was there a misjudge in character and decision-making, there was also a lack of spatial awareness and timing that had him raising his hand for the camera at a point that would be almost impossible to have his hand up in time to wave to the camera. Hmm. Weird.
Not only that, look where his eyes are. They are focused down on her bottom half. Even if he was trying to slap her back in a friendly gesture you usually look up and meet their eyes for that gesture. But when slapping butts men generally do look down unless they are trying to not look like they are about to do that. This guy wasn't even trying to hide it.
Now this is how you make things worse. Own up to your dumb fucking stunt, instead he comes up with a lie as bright as the goddamn sun. This guys reputation and career will hopefully run down the drain.
It's a very weak excuse. But one that probably would've worked for A LOT of people if there wasn't video evidence. Hell, it probably works for a lot of people despite video evidence.
I really wouldn't get your hopes up of him facing any real consequences. I'm sure his church will band together to support him in this his time of need.
I hope the court makes an example out of him. Also...............prob. should start interviewing the youth that he's a minister of.
It's at times like these we see how society actively demonizes men having the slightest bit of self-control. For way too many people, "boys will be boys" does and sadly will always trump the "golden rule". This prick could have kept his precious livelihood intact by simply keeping his hands to himself. If he wanted to grab an ass he shoulda saved it for his wife. He chose instead to inflict his "excitement" on a random woman during her job. Somehow though his "ruin" is the fault of this reporter for existing, having an ass, and the will to stand up for herself rather than the fault of his pathetic, juvenile mindset.

a misjudge in character? what does that even mean? he thought his hand was good but it decided to strike her ass instead of wave?
Yeah how do you misjudge your own character?
Maybe he forgot he wasn't a child in grade school? Or maybe he was misjudging "her" character? He thought she was a football player?
Or perhaps he heard that term before but has no idea what it means.
