Hornets apologize after pretending to give child PS5 and taking it away off camera - Yahoo Sports
Unbeknownst to the kid, the Hornets were only pretending to give him a console.
The skit that "missed the mark" occurred in a break in play during the second quarter of Charlotte's game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. The child was brought onto the court with Hugo, the Hornets' mascot, dressed as Santa Claus. After a letter to Santa requesting a PS5 was read out loud, a cheerleader came out with a bag containing the video game console.
The young fan was visibly overjoyed as he received the pricy gift. However, according to an online acquaintance, he was less happy when the cameras turned off and a Hornets staffer took it away, replacing it with a jersey.

No, that's Red Hat, not Reddit. Easy to get them confused.

It's entirely plausible this person knows the lady in question.
You want Lemmy adoption.. you get folks with stature in the machine sharing mundane recon.. you don't believe anything.
Look, I'm just engaging in critical thinking here. I don't believe everything I read on the Internet especially since people love just making up random crap just so they can have a story to tell.
That's fair. I try to do the same. But we suspend belief all the time to survive the shit. Let some light in whether proven and your day might be better 🤷
That's a Reddit comment though.
Whoosh. Sorry, don't follow. What do you mean?

Yikes.
Unfortunately, this applies to 99% of people in power I know of, if they think they’ll get away with it, they’ll do it.
You don’t usually get into places of power by being thoughtful and considerate.
