The Charlotte Hornets issued an apology on Tuesday following a social media uproar regarding a young fan who reportedly had a video game console taken back after being gifted it during an on-court skit. The incident occurred during a recent game when the team engaged in a playful segment designed to entertain fans.
The young boy was excited to receive the console, which was intended as a fun reward for his participation. However, after the skit concluded, the team allegedly retrieved the console, leading to disappointment and confusion among fans and the child’s family.
In response to the backlash, the Hornets acknowledged the situation and expressed their regret for the misunderstanding.
