I would like to see the video of them taking the PS5 away and the disappointed look on the childs face so I can properly determine if the bad PR/compensation ratio is adequate.

I wonder which adult responsible took the PS5 home that night?

Cruel.

Never been to an NBA game?

If the Hornets were looking for publicity, then they definitely found a way to get it.

I can’t believe someone on their staff thought this would be a good idea and taking the game away from the child, after publicly giving it to him, would go unnoticed. The person should be fired for bad judgment alone.

Stop the skits

It’s sad that children are sometimes subjected to abusive, drunken, vulgar and hostile actions at home.

This being true, there is certainly no reason to subject to youngsters these same behaviors common at any pro sports game.

So we should never take children to county fairs? The cubs that are in 4H are going to be miffed about that.

How about school in general?

And as for children's sports.... the less said the better.

In fact what the child will find on that PS5 will make what happens at your average pro sport game look very mild.

Kids are not to be wrapped in cotton wool and stored in a box behind closed doors. They need to be both tough and brave little scrappers if you want to raise functional adults.

Yes I realize children, even young children, are subjected to the evils of this world at home, at school, on TV and especially the internet.

But the job of any responsible parent is to monitor and limit these types of problems. Allow more freedoms as they grow older.

I was never allowed to go to an R rated movie as an 8 year old. Today - they watch mature content any time they want.

So having admitted that what you are whining is not about the parents taking their kid to a game just what exactly is your problem?

Jealousy that your dad never took you to a NBA game?

[Responsibility2nd]

You are presumptuous and confused

Are you always this wrong)

Nobody is drunkenly abusing kids at a pro sporting events. There are few public events more wholesome than professional sports events. You people that know nothing about sports should just stick to threads about The View.

Teasing a kid at Christmas time with a bogus gift of a PS5 - not very nice. Whoever came up with that idea is an idiot.
