Mariah Carey’s 2016 didn’t end well, and not even 24 hours later, the Indiana Pacers took advantage of the opportunity to mock the story that all of America was laughing about.
The Pacers defeated the Orlando Magic 117-104 on Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, but their biggest victory of the day came on the videoboard with the “lip sync cam” trolling Carey’s New Year’s Eve performance:

You probably noticed that the song playing for the lip sync cam was Mariah Carey’s hit “Emotions”, the same song that began her disastrous New Year’s Eve performance. The only question is, did the Pacers fans not actually know the words or did they play along with it? If they played along with it, that makes the stunt 10 times better.
Pacers wrong, man. "Lip Sync Cam" to a Mariah Carey song……. pic.twitter.com/gDwrMrHt6k

Now it’s only a matter of time — granted, we’re still a few months from the season — before a minor league baseball team follows suit.
Last year after Steve Harvey had his incident during the Miss University pageant, the Frisco Roughriders (Texas Rangers’ Double-A affiliate) made a promotion out of it:
Mark your calendars: April 26 we honor #MissUniverse2015 flub w/ "Runner-Up Night"
