In the proud tradition of ‘lady pours scalding hot coffee on self and sues,’ an Orlando man who bought courtside seats to the Magic’s playoff matchup with the Boston Celtics is demanding an apology because one of the players knocked his son’s hat off.
After hitting the game-winning shot on Sunday, Boston big man Glen “Big Baby” Davis bumped Ernest Provetti’s 12-year-old snowflake. He didn’t injure him, but again, he knocked his hat off. Just as no one could reasonably suspect that scalding hot coffee would burn when dumped in your lap, Provetti seems to have never considered that sitting courtside — just feet away from 7-foot-tall, 300-lb NBA players — might not be the best idea when you have a 12 year old.
Not only did Provetti demand an apology, but he actually took the time to write an email to the NBA saying Davis acted like:
A raging animal with no regard for fans’ personal safety.
Oh man! That’s quite a trip, right? (Also, that’s racist.) It’s too bad there’s no way to debunk that claim.
There you have it. When shoved by a 289-lb man, 12-year-old Nicholas Provetti doesn’t even fall. Oh, the humanity!
Still, proving he’s a bigger man than he should be, Glen Davis actually DID apologize.
If I’ve hurt anybody or if I’ve done any harm to anybody, please forgive me because my intentions were just harmless.
There. Are you happy, Ernest Provetti? Does that make you feel better? You sure showed, Glen “Big Baby” Davis, didn’t you?
Based on the title, I assume this post would be about Cindy Crosby.
