On Saturday, Cincinnati completed a disappointing 4-8 season with a loss to Big East rival Pittsburgh. It was a cold, snowy day, and it could only have been made colder if their adorable mascot were arrested.
Cincinnati Mascot Arrested For Throwing Snowballs
↵WHAT? Oh, come on.
↵↵The Cincinnati mascot was detained by police and ejected from the stadium on Saturday, and had to be replaced. Why?
Because he was throwing snowballs into the crowd, and when police asked him to stop, he didn’t.
↵↵Tom Fornelli over at CBS Sports points to video evidence, which I had to watch to fully accept what happened. Speaking as someone who was once sent to detention in high school for throwing a snowball, I am staunchly opposed to the anti-snowball hysteria that has gripped the country in recent times. Listen. If you’re standing outside while it’s snowing, you’re already being hit with the equivalent of multiple snowballs. Are you prepared to sick the law on the covert CIA stealth-zeppelin that’s dropping it out of the sky? I thought not. Also, the stealth-zeppelin would use its 33rd-century technology to turn the officers’ handcuffs into bouquets of tulips, and that would be that.
