János Hrutka (born 26 October 1974) is a Hungarian former professional footballer who played as a defender. He represented the Hungary national team internationally between 1998 and 2002.
He was a member of the 1. FC Kaiserslautern team which reached the quarter final of the UEFA Champions League in the 1998–99 season and won the Bundesliga in 1998.[1]
From 2017 to 2021, he served as a pundit for TV2 Group's Spíler TV. In March 2021, Hrutka was fired from the network after he liked a Facebook post by Peter Gulacsi in support of LGBTQ rights in Hungary; media outlets tied the firing to the network's pro-government stances under current owner József Vida.[2][3][4]
