The Charlotte Hornets pulled a cruel prank on a kid and are now trying to make it right
NBA team the Charlotte Hornets screwed up and is having to apologize after recently giving a young fan a PlayStation 5 console during a Christmas-themed halftime skit and then taking the console away after the cameras were turned off. The team is also gifting the fan a PS5 he can keep this time, too. On December 16, during a basketball game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Charlotte Hornets , young fans were brought onto the court to greet the cheerleaders and the team’s mascot.
Apparently, the child’s uncle, likely the adult in the grey and blue hoodie in the video above, knew ahead of time that the gift would be taken away and failed to share that info with his nephew. As you might expect, a team worth billions cheaping out and taking away a kid’s Christmas gift after pretending to give it to him in front of cameras didn’t go over well online. People rightfully called out the team and its staff for the horrible prank, and within 24 hours the Hornets issued an apology.
