ESPN Apologized On-Air For Running Fake Ballsack Sports Quote

Yesterday, we reported about how ESPN fell victim to NBA parody account ‘Ballsack Sports’, and ran an entire segment on a fake Ja Morant quote.

This expectedly caused reactions by the entire NBA universe, who made fun of the Network. Amongst them, the man in question. Morant himself said ‘these people crazy’ and mocked ESPN for falling victim to Ballsack Sports.

“Right now, I want to quickly address something that happened on this program yesterday. We made a mistake…”
