The action of a kiss on the forehead is not inherently harmful. What's important in this case are his intentions. As far as I can tell his intention was to apologize for hurting someone, similar to the way one would kiss a child if they hit the child with a ball. I say people are way too sensitive! What he did was fine.

To me it was more like a Mum kissing a kid after they got hurt to show them some concern and empathy. Some people get offended by the slightest thing.

I think his intentions may have been good but it's also a bit egotistical of him to think that one kiss from him (an uninvited one at that) is gonna make the boo-boo all better. She's a grown ass woman so a simple, "I am sorry that happened, hope you're okay" would have been much more appropriate.

I have a problem with strangers wanting to touch/hug/kiss me; so for me it would be a huge issue. Personally, when I noticed that was what he was going to do, I would have told him no. If he continued I would personally consider it an assault. Now, in this case it is quite apparent that she didn't have time to react, so I most likely would have told him that was NOT cool.

I think it is inappropriate. The relationship between the fan and the player was not to the point that ANY kiss was expected. The article states that the expression on the fan's face showed her feeling of it being inappropriate. There was a line crossed. This may be a good example of the atmosphere which leads to sexual harassment.

I must admit, I'm totally lost where the boundary of "political correctness" starts and stops. It seems to interfere with basic human instincts, such as in this case. I mean, it's not like he stuck his tongue down her throat is it? .. I wouldn't call a "kiss on the head" intimate

I have no problem with it.
