A video of the Falcons mascot trying to fight a kid during a pee wee game has gone viral on the internet. The video has caused a stir on the socials with a bunch of people reacting to the video.
The Daily Mail got the details;
Atlanta’s mascot, Freddie Falcon, bizarrely tried to fight a kid as it squared up to him after a tackle during a halftime pee wee game.
Atlanta area mascots played a supposedly friendly game against the Atlanta Colts pee wee football team during halftime of the Falcons’ defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday.
Although the mascots ultimately suffered a stunning defeat at the hands of the kids, it did not stop one giving it its all.
The player, clearly confused and riled up, slammed the football to the ground before getting back to his feet.
However, the mascot approached the player, seemingly squaring up and taunting him before shoving him.
The player stumbled before striking back, smacking the mascot in the face with the ball, which sparked a fight between the two as they began shoving each other back and forth.
The kid’s teammates streamed on to the field to his defense and they surrounded the mascot before the referee rushed over to break up the chaos.
After the referee separated the furious players from the mascot, Freddie Falcon appeared to celebrate his hit as he ran away with his arm – or rather wing – in the air in triumph.
It is unclear whether it was a joke or whether Freddie Falcon was trying to get called up to play corner.
The Falcons suffered a brutal beating of their own as they were already 28-17 down at halftime and went on to lose 35-17 at the hands over Joe Burrow and Co.
I find this to be hilarious.
