The altercation reportedly began when some white woman named Patricia Cornwall, who, according to the New York Post, was an NFL cheerleader and an actress who played a small role nobody remembers on the show Baywatch, couldn’t get to her seat after using the restroom because a flight attendant was moving through the aisle with a bever...

A Dubious Blunder: New York Knicks Misspell Immanuel Quickley’s Name On His Jersey
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Rick Osentoski / Getty Someone was moving a bit too quickly when trying to spell Quickley. New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley probably had a word with the team’s equipment manager. Wednesday night (Dec.29) at Little Caesars Arena, in his second game back since clearing the NBA’s COVID-19 protocols, Quickley was the victim of what Walt Clyde Frazier would call a dubious blunder. Eagle-eyed viewers immediately noticed Quickley’s name was egregiously butchered on the back of his jersey. Tuesday night, Quickley’s jersey was fine during the Knicks victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, so it’s a bit of a headscratcher how this error slipped through the cracks. Jersey blunders are nothing new to the sports world, in fact, they are pretty common. Some Twi...
