I mean I would get it if they had an empty box out on the court for the show, and then having to take away the empty show box... But they gave the kid a jersey instead? Wtf?
I don’t understand how what you’re describing is better. If you make the kid think he’s just gotten a PS5 then to take it away is incredibly cruel. Giving him a jersey is just insult cherry on the shameful cake. Unless I am misunderstanding what you’re proposing?
Sorry yeah I'm missing a whole ass sentence there haha... As bork picked up, once off the court, take the empty box and replace with the full box.
Ahhh I think I get it now
Pretty sure they are saying use an empty box on the court (lighter, no risk of breaking), and then take away the empty box afterwards (implied to give them an actual, not-empty box afterwards).
Ooooh. I definitely didn't get that implication and thought the same as the commenter above. Couldn't figure out how that'd be understandable lol.
I think they meant like theyd still give em a ps5 it just wouldn't have been in the box on camera.
