The satirical story dates back to September 2014.
Kanye Scores 106 Points Against Junior Wheelchair Basketball Team, Makes Kids Cry. A charity basketball game did not go exactly as planned yesterday when Kanye West scored 106 points against the team of handicapped children in wheelchairs. The game was a PR move intended to smooth over the controversy that erupted this week to between Kanye and the disabled community. It all began when, at one of his concerts, West repeatedly asked wheelchaired fans to stand, and refused to apologize for his mistake afterwards. (Daily Buzz Live)
Despite being satirical, the story still managed to blow up across social media.
Believe or not, there’s a lot of people on the internet that believe this story. It all started when the very funny Daily Currant wrote this very funny satirical article called Kanye West scores 106 points against wheelchair basketball team earlier in the week. Since so many people on Twitter and social networks never actually click on links before retweeting, commenting and sharing headlines, the headline went semi-viral and gullible idiots were believing this actually happened.
