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.
Goddamn hornets, this is why everyone prefers bees
Speak for yourself. Bees are an invasive species given an unfair advantage through their alliance with humanity. If they aren’t native to an area, they are a pest that competes with local pollinators and drives them toward extinction
describes every domesticated animal
free roaming domesticated animals are a pest on the ecosystems, but we do european bees on a completely different scale
European bees wouldn’t be as big of a problem if people didn’t tear down native shrubs and import European plants. Plant native! Garden wild! Stop using pesticides!
One of the comments about why
How would this commenter know that?
I mean surely it could be a lie but they just took away a PS5 from a kid…
what? lies? on the internet? why would anyone do such a thing.
Now I feel like I’m back on Reddit.

No, that’s Red Hat, not Reddit. Easy to get them confused.
I swear The Boys gets more and more blatant with how evil Corporate America is, but cmon, this episode is just completely ridiculous. Not even Homelander would be that ev…
Wait this happened in a REAL Sportsball game? This is not a bit? sugh
I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed
It’s absolutely amazing to me that they didn’t realize this was gonna cause a backlash.
Right? Like, I don’t understand in what universe did this seem like a good idea?
They actually read the fucking kid’s letter to Santa live at the Stadium, and only pretended to give him a PS5? This is basically bullying the poor guy.
“Ooooh, this is a letter to Santa. My mistake. I thought you meant Satan! Like we would pretend to give you a gift and then Satan would take it away.”
Was it even the kid’s letter to begin with? The whole thing just seems like a setup.
