The Charlotte Hornets issued an apology after a viral video showed them taking a PlayStation 5 from a fan during an on-court skit. They promised to make amends and provide the fan with a better experience.
In the NBA , in-arena entertainment is supposed to be innocuous—the kind of thing to which you say 'Oh, that's nice' and then forget immediately after. That's per a social media user, @StanUsmnt, who posted a video showing Hugo the Hornet gifting his friend's nephew a video-game system. On Tuesday, the Hornets apologized for the skit—which 'During last night's game there was an on-court skit that missed the mark. The skit included bad decision making and poor communication.
Simply put, we turned the ball over and we apologize,' Charlotte said via Nick Carboni of WCNC-TV in Charlotte. 'We have reached out to the family and are committed to not only making it right but to exceeding expectations. We will be providing the fan with the PS5 that he should have taken home last night along with a VIP experience to a future game.'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. The Hornets won widespread criticism for the fiasco, which overshadowed a loss that sent them to 7–19 on the season
