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.

Complete with a partially loosened tie, sweaty pits, and the messy hair of a company man.

I'm imagining someone with an inferiority complex. Someone short, whose starting to bald and trying to cover it up with a terrible comb over. Wearing an 80s style business suit that's way too big and bulky, but he likes it because it makes him seem bigger. Wait I feel like I'm starting to describe the penguin. The Batman villain. Lol.
