A man has publicly apologized for throwing a drink at an influencer during a recent Mexico national team soccer match. The incident, which occurred while the influencer, known as Terefifas, was celebrating a goal, quickly went viral and drew widespread criticism.

Alejandro Azcué Martinez, identified as the man in the video, released a statement admitting his mistake. "I know perfectly well that I was wrong, the emotion of the game is not an excuse for the behavior I had," he said in a video. "I assume full and complete responsibility for having thrown a beer that ended up drenching a young woman."

Terefifas initially thought the drink toss was an accident due to the game's excitement. However, upon reviewing the footage, she realized the liquid was deliberately thrown at her. "At the moment I wasn't angry because I thought it was part of the celebration, but when editing, I realized it was directly at me. Are you really going to the stadium for that?" she wrote on social media. She added, "Once again, it is proven that money does not buy education. Speechless."

Azcué's apology, however, has not appeased many online. Numerous social media users have dismissed his statement as scripted and insincere. Comments ranged from "No, today we are NOT excusing your baseness" to "You don't seem believable at all." The incident has reignited discussions about behavior at sporting events and the perceived lack of manners among some attendees.
