Charlotte Hornets apologize after mascot skit leaves young fan disappointed

cbsnews.com

The Charlotte Hornets apologized after a skit during a game went wrong. A young fan was given a PlayStation 5 on camera, but it was taken away after filming ended, leaving him with a jersey instead. The incident, which went viral, prompted the team to acknowledge "bad decision making and poor communication." They have since reached out to the family and promised to provide the boy with the PS5 and a VIP experience at a future game. The Hornets are currently struggling in the season with seven wins and 19 losses. The team was sold last year by Michael Jordan to a group of investors for $3 billion.
