This is a real stituation, unfolding as we speak. I’m wondering what everybody thinks. I’ll save my thoughts for a bit.
Guy I know is furious. Mascot of a local professional team was visiting his 6 year old son’s school. His son was wearing the jersey of that mascot’s team’s rival team. When they went to take a class picture with the mascot, the mascot pushed the kid out of the picture. The kid is described as being “pissed” about it. I’m sure if there were injuries or anything else worth mentioning, we would have heard about it.
Those are all the details I’ve heard so far, except that the teacher did call the mother to explain the situation.
That happened yesterday. The father is saying that this is assault and battery on a child. He contacted the team today. The team’s legal counsel told him “we’re sorry your child didn’t appreciate the performance.” Apparently the team offered the child a “more positive experience” with the mascot. The father is saying that they’re not going to buy off a criminal assault and battery against a child like that, and now says they’re going to get the hammer.
I look forward to learning what that means.
Thoughts?
