Hornets Apologize for PS5 “Skit” That Backfired Spectacularly
During a Charlotte Hornets game, a mascot gave a young fan a PlayStation 5 as part of an on-court skit, only to have Hornets staff later retrieve the console and replace it with a jersey. This action, captured on video and viewed millions of times, prompted an apology from the Hornets organization. The team admitted poor communication and decision-making led to the incident. Subsequently, the Hornets contacted the family, apologized, and promised to deliver the PlayStation 5 along with VIP game tickets.
