They Should Apologize

This is just wrong:

The Bobcat first went after Brutus as the OSU mascot led the Buckeyes onto the field for the game.

Moments later, the Bobcat mascot climbed on the back of Ohio State’s mascot and rode him to the ground. The two then tussled in the end zone while fans booed.

Two thoughts. No, three.

First, it’s amusing that the only way to instill any fear in the enemy of a team mascot that is basically a tree nut is to name it “Brutus.”

Second, it should be beneath the dignity of a carnivore like a bobcat to even bother with said tree nut, let alone wrestle with it.

Third, you’d never see a wolverine do anything like that.

  1. The problem I have with it is that, having watched the replay, it wasn’t just a friendly, staged tussle between the two – the Bobcat was actually choking out the Buckeye while riding his back.

    If it was a stage fight or it played out as more of a staged fight, with all of the fakery of WWE, that would be one thing, but to switch from WWE to MMA mode is a little bit over the top.

    I love that the reaction of the guy who did it is “why is everyone so upset about this?” That’s what a sociopath says!

    I expect him to go into politics or become a mass murderer before age 30…

  2. Just another reason to stop having aggressive testosterone driven males in silly costumes as mascots at sporting events.

    In a true meritocracy, the more mature female student would do a far superior job, IMO. Ms. Bobcat would never attack Ms. Buckeye, for example, because there would be a good chance that she’d tear the tail off her bikini bottom in the tussle.
