Bloke nicks towel from kid at Wimbledon, becomes most hated man in SW19
So this just happened in the first round of Wimbledon. Watch what happens after American player Jack Sock throws a towel to a kid in the crowd.
Why isn't Sock blamed? The kid clearly asked for the towel. Why didn't Sock respond when the couple took it instead of waiting for Twitter? pic.twitter.com/2qDZq6g6W4

That’s right, the bloke in front yanked it off him, instantly making himself the most hated man in SW19.

Not sure what's worse, not letting the kid have the towel or wearing matching outfits??

It must be serious because Judy Murray’s got involved.
If ur the bloke in the blue polo shirt and hat, you should be ashamed…… https://t.co/KlZ250NCQP

He didn't get where he is today, expensive seats, with a lifetime of generosity. Maybe he needs the towel – it's hot where he's going.

People are making all sorts of assumptions about him.
100% Tory.

Him and his trophy second marriage blonde wife far more likely to be yanks

So it's either Donald Trump or a Tory.

I blame Trump

And now everyone else has joined in.
If anyone knows the kid that unfortunately had the towel ripped out of his hands…tweet his name at me and I'll be sure to get him one

If you find out, we'd like to send him a #USOpen towel. @AustralianOpen, @rolandgarros, maybe send one of yours as well for a Slam sweep?

Kid’s gonna have more towels than he knows what to do with.
