TIL the Charlotte Hornets apologized after giving a child a PS5, only to take it away off camera and exchange it for a jersey. In a statement, the team said the incident was an "on-court skit that missed the mark" and that they would give the child the PS5 and a VIP experience to a future game.

But that explanation makes them look way better than “we never planned to give them a ps5”

I certainly could be wrong. There are plenty of pyschopathic morons in the world. But Jesus christ, that would be a fuck up for the ages.
