This is one of the most beautiful sports GIFs of 2017. Behold.
Jazz mascot avenges little kid who was shoved by a Clippers fan during a bubble race
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
A fun event during the break in Clippers vs. Jazz turned ugly when the Clippers fan turned his inflatable ball around and rammed a small child representing the Jazz.
There was no reason for this. Clippers fan was clearly winning, he had a height and weight advantage as well as longer legs — there was no need to obliterate his opponent. Thankfully, Jazz Bear was there to play the role of enforcer and exact for sweet, sweet revenge.
I’m not one to condone violence, but Clippers kid was an ass. The brutality of the hit from Jazz Bear can’t be understated, either. Those giant inflatable balls are there to protect against collisions from the side. By Jazz Bear rocking the kid like this he just crashed straight into the floor, getting little (if any) protection from his inflatable prison.
Also, it should probably be noted that this was definitely all a setup by the team to spark a little home crowd hatred towards the Clippers.
