Charlotte Hornets NBA Team Gives Kid a PS5 for Halftime Skit Then Takes It Back Off Camera
The Charlotte Hornets NBA team performed an ill-received half time skit in its game against the Philadelphia 76ers this week, when it pretended to give a child a PlayStation 5 before taking it away when the cameras stopped rolling.
The Charlotte Hornets NBA team performed an ill-received half time skit in its game against the Philadelphia 76ers this week, when it pretended to give a child a PlayStation 5 before taking it away when the cameras stopped rolling.
As reported by Kotaku, the Hornets organization has since apologized for what it called "bad decision making" and given the child a PS5 for real alongside promising a VIP experience at a future game. Karma quickly caught up with Charlotte on the night, as they lost to Philadelphia 121 to 108.
X/Twitter user @StanUsmnt raised the issue, calling Charlotte "a cheap sports organization" and saying the move "crushed the kid."
You guys want to see a cheap sports organization?
In this video my best friend&his nephew get called onto court for a special segment where they gift the kid a PS5 publicly… w/cameras off they TOOK IT AWAY and gave him a jersey.
