Phoenix Mercury brought real goats to arena to celebrate ‘Diana Taurasi night’

GOAT recognize GOAT

Diana Taurasi recently became the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer, passing Tina Thompson and permanently placing herself in the basketball history books. In honor of her accomplishments, the Phoenix Mercury hosted “Diana Taurasi Night” against the Minnesota Lynx and Maya Moore. If you were on of the first 5,000 members in attendance you even got a Diana Taurasi bobblehead! But there is more to this story ... so much more.

The Phoenix Mercury also decided to have a goat petting zoo during the game. Do you see what is happening here? There are GOATS in the arena during GOAT night.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. THE GOATS ARE RUNNING INTO THE STADIUM.

It gets even better. Here is the GOAT with the GOATS.

This is the smartest, most fun, and most petty thing I have ever seen and I support it 150 percent.
