Persecution

Hrutka worked as a commentator and expert for the pro-government television sports channel Spíler TV from 2017 to 2021. He was fired from the TV channel in March 2021, because he agreed with Hungary national team and RB Leipzig footballer, Péter Gulácsi's opinion on pro-LGBT statements of gay marriage. Subsequently, the government media (Nemzeti Sport and FourFourTwo) began to revive his player contracts from the past twenty years, with the intention of expiration.
