We have to assume reporters who do the pregame show for a soccer game in Germany know where to set up shop so that they’re safely removed from the line of fire. As we can see here, they try to avoid painful occurrences by stationing themselves a good distance away from the warm-up action. With that in mind, I’ll let you decide whether or not this is intentional. Check out the video of German reporter Jessica Kastrop taking a soccer ball to the back of the head, courtesy of Out of Bounds:
If you ask me, that’s about as intentional as a LeGarrette Blount punch to the head. There isn’t even a player anywhere near where the ball is going. I don’t know if I’m ready to say that the person who kicked it meant to hit the female reporter right in the dome, but I have a funny feeling they meant to cause a stir at the news desk. We’ll probably never know.
