The Atlanta Hawk creepily strokes a cat doll, and we are scared

The Atlanta Hawks just couldn’t handle the Pelicans having the creepiest mascot in the league, I guess.

USA TODAY Sports

The Atlanta Hawks beat the Charlotte Bobcats tonight, 103-94. That we’re OK with.

What we’re decidedly NOT okay with, however, is this video released by the Hawks after the win:

That, per the video description, is “What @ATLHarryTheHawk does to Bobcats.”

Which raises the question: What does he do to them? Lovingly stroke their head, which cats generally love? CREEPILY NOD HIS HEAD AND STARE AT ME? NO STOP DOING THAT HAWK PLEASE STOP PLEASE NO STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AHHHHH.

Please bring back the Atlanta Hawk that’s sometimes riding motorcycles on the side of the highway instead of creepily stroking plush dolls:
