A Mets fan tweeted the following video after a 7-1 loss to the Brewers Wednesday night. Mr. Met wasn’t feeling too hot after the game.
Mets are very sorry Mr. Met is flipping off their fans
The Mets do not condone this type of behavior.
Because the fan tagged the team account in the video, and because it blew up, the Mets account noticed and the team felt compelled to issue this apology.
Twitter had jokes, of course.
We are sorry for what you are about to see.
Let’s not forget the Mets’ minor league organization either.
Yikes!!! Watching the video over and over, though (as you probably are too, it’s great) leads to some more questions.
JUSTICE 4 MR. MET!! Of course, if you’re a smarty-pants know-it-all, you may point out that the thumb is not a finger, so Mr. Met in fact does have the offending digit, but then that affects the perception of our own human fingers.
One person who has remained silent through this whole ordeal is Mrs. Met.
