“The funny thing is, if he had just gone out in the first place and they just gave him a jersey out there on the court, he would have been stoked, you know,” Phillips [the boy’s uncle] said.
But you see, then they wouldn’t be able to fool the audience into thinking they gave him the PS5, which was the whole point–a PR stunt to make them look generous while actually being cheap greedy bastards–while they rake in millions.
Who even comes up with the idea for a fake gift giving ceremony?
I’m just stunned at what they did. I can’t believe this was planned, like it had to be a miscommunication within corporate or something. A ps5 is chump change to the Hornets, compared to the bad PR of messing with a kid.
BTW if you wanna know but don’t wanna click, after the hullabaloo the hornets reached out and promised the family a ps5 and some VIP tickets (unless they lying again lol)
