Who Doesn't Love Mascots

Ok, so Steely McBeam was pulled over for driving intoxicated and blew double the legal limit for Pennsylvania. Oh NO! Our mascots are horrible influences on the kids! What's next, is the Phillie Phanatic gonna beat up a guy... wait, well he kinda did, but not beat up, he just hugs too hard. click on the link to find it...

Mascots Gone WILD!

Yeah ESPN.com lays down the law and points out cases mascots have acted disorderly within the past 10-15 years. You know, because it's obviously a big deal.


But who are we kidding, mascots have been doing this long before Steely McBeam was pulled over for drinking too much Jim Beam.

Back in the 1980's Major League Baseball had a drug problem (surprise, it wasn't steroids) and one of the main culprits was... PITTSBURGH. Yup, that's right, the Pittsburgh Pirates were the Brian McNamee's of recreational drugs and interestingly enough, a mascot was pushing. Kevin Koch, aka, Pirate Parrot (an original name) was buying drugs and introducing Pirates players and opponents to drug dealers. Commissioner Ueberroth, who is a hero to us here at Sal Fasano's 401K, laid down the law and handed out suspensions like candy or nose candy if you prefer.

Now, we hate mascots here at Sal Fasano's 401K. They are annoying, take away from the real reason to go to a game; drink beer, watch a game and heckle large contract players and washed up superstars. The antics of the San Diego Chicken and the Zoo-per Stars are juvenile and prove that this country relies on a class system where the fans (the upper class) ridicule and undermine the mascots (the lower class). So boo hoo, who really cares about this mascot situation and for the love of sport, let's move on to more important things... like Isiah Thomas and his amazing ability to destroy everything he touches (CBA, Pacers, Knicks).
