Prophet Zacharia Posted January 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2020 why would Gritty assault his future fan base? https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2020/01/22/gritty-flyers-mascot-philadelphia-police-investigating-claim-physically-assaulted-teen-boy-during-photo-shoot/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted January 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2020 Flyers mascot? The real Gritty, successor to True Grit (bronze statue in front of gym), is the Chesapeake Bay Retriever who is the mascot of UMBC! He doesn't punch anyone in the back!

Forum Administrator Posted January 23, 2020 Share #3 Posted January 23, 2020 First... this kid's slapshot sucks. Second... I have done some time in two different mascot costumes. The oversized body parts and limited vision could make it very easy to accidentally hurt someone. Third... How the heck do you nearly any doctor and only have a $300 bill?

But this ☝️is comedy gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted January 23, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 23, 2020 I will say, Gritty seems like the freshest and most entertaining thing about the NHL, so I hope he is cleared of all wrongdoing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted January 23, 2020 Share #6 Posted January 23, 2020 couple oddities about this story: the dad first complained about a bad picture because Gritty wasn't looking at the camera. As if you can tell. When he got nothing from, the Flyers, then, a month after the incident, came up with the punch story. It was a public event, hundreds of people there. No one but Dad saw it happen. The kid had a bruise, so dad took him to a chiropractor. Dad asked for the kid's pic on the Jumbotron and a post game locker room visit. Team said no. Then dad called the cops. Gritty should have punched Dad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re lucky if one of them looks at the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
