How do you guys feel about mascots? As cynical as I am, it may surprise you to learn that I love mascots. Even the dumb ones. Well, except Gritty. Fuck that guy. Seriously though, they're goofy fun. I'm a 'sports are a metaphor for life' guy, and I believe every second of every game you play is a commentary on your character. And yes, we're all passionate and sometimes we take this stuff way too seriously. But at the end of the day, none of this stuff means anything. As a fan, you root for your team and you go home, that's it. Nobody literally lives or dies by their team (unless you have a serious gambling problem). Mascots remind us the game is supposed to be fun. It's a distraction from the world around us, which can be pretty awful. You're missing the point of it all if you're going into convulsions because the safety blew his assignment. So the next time you find your blood pressure skyrocketing, locate the mascot. He has his priorities straight. He knows it's all just a game.

I like *a* mascot - the Phillie Phanatic. Every other mascot, including Gritty, is some combination of lame & stupid. But the Phanatic’s got attitude and I can appreciate that.

Mascots are fine until they become attention whores interacting with players or the game.

I get a kick out of mascot reactions to made or missed FGs during a football game. Pouting and shaking their heads if the other team makes one, strutting like dopes if their team makes one. I feel like all mascots should have to smoke weed before suiting up. That's probably the case, anyway.

Buster Bison, our local AAA baseball mascot. The kiddies love Buster and I'm fine with that. But Buster should stick to the young ones. A guy siting drinking a beer and keeping score with no tots near him is someone Buster should stay away from. And on occasion, buster needs to be reminded of that. Not that I've had run is with the mascot mind you...

Some. Loved the original San Diego Chicken. Don't care for our MSU Sparty sourpuss. Gritty is cool. Stanford tree?

I like almost all college mascots. Pros - - it's more like 10%.
Do you like Wally?

I remember they trotted out Wally with a Panda mask on when they signed Sandoval and I thought that was stupid. You can go too far with mascots, I won't deny that. But in general they're harmless.

Boiler man... Ok, so we've established I'm not a fan of football mascots in the UK.
