There’s no way Gritty did that

I dont know, he is a god damn maniac.

how hard could the hit have been, like getting hit with a pillow

Young Brandon, age 13, is going to score big points with the ladies and cool kids when he tells them that he cried and his dad went to the papers about a googly-eyed mascot punching him.

But these are dangerous times with mascots looking to throw fists and assault children. The Flyers should look into someone to protect fans from these monsters.

Gritty ain't f***ing with this:

Oh for f***'s sake, when I was a baby the Phanatic grabbed me out of my mother's arms and shoved my whole head into his snout. I apparently cried for hours after, but my mom thought it was hilarious.

 

[Danko]

I honestly feel bad for the kid in this situation, not because of gritty but because the Dad is the cry baby here.

You should check the statute of limitations.

I laughed out loud at work

 

[FlyerNutter]

Bet that kid hasn’t been vaccinated.

There's also a Crossing Broad post comment back on December 1st saying "Not to change the subject, but I was at a Flyers event a week or so ago and Gritty punched a kid in the back. Anyone hear of any fallout from that? If that was my kid, I would have beaten the hell out of that orange freak"

The dad specifically mentioned that his son was "punched in the back" in the Facebook post on December 5th asking if anyone saw anything and then he dug up that Crossing Broad post.

I'm not claiming that it's made up but I don't think if I saw Gritty punch a random kid i'd include "in the back" when asking if anyone saw it... I'd say "did anyone see Gritty punch a kid?" It just seems way too specific.

Are they going to bring charges against all of those mascots that bulldoze kids during halftime of football games? Sick world.

 

[Young Sandwich]

I could absolutely see Gritty blasting a kid in the back like that. Did you see how hard he hit that woman in the face with the cake? Choreographed or not, he really dug in that back foot and went for the kill just like Best of the Best.

Audible LOL in a meeting. Thank you.

 

[PhlthyRich]

hear me out guys... but maybe the kid deserved it?

 

[Rebels57]

I'd pay my entire February salary to see the video of Gritty punching a kid in the back and launching him across the concourse.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Dad looking for his payout, so sad these days.

Give him his 100K and tell him to f*** off.

 

[catbellysqueezer]

Hopefully next time he doesn't leave any witnesses

Wings fan here and love Gritty. Love the concept of him. I think this is a legit cash grab by the parents. Just so happened to be at an event with no cameras and all the potential witnesses that were asked, didnt see anything from the one article I read. Hope it is just a cash grab and this all goes away with no harm to Gritty and his antics.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They have the thing be pretty aggressive & skirt that line with it’s actions but I still can’t imagine a room full of people wouldn’t question a mascot walloping a young kid like that.

I ultimately don’t really give a shit what happens anyway though. That’s money out of Comcast’s pocket.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

There weren't any witnesses.

 

[Danko]

There weren't any witnesses.

Job well done.

 

[PhlthyRich]

I will attend this court case like the young ladies who attended Ted Bundy's. Gritty has my heart<3

 

[BigToe]

There weren't any witnesses.

Gritty paints houses?

 

[Rebels57]

I've now decided that i'm going to be dissapointed if this DIDN'T happen.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I've now decided that i'm going to be dissapointed if this DIDN'T happen.

It very likely DID happen. Just not in the manner that is being alleged.

Gritty likely got tired of the kid hitting him in the head so he jokingly went to punch him as he walked away.

It looks to be a really bad idea to bring this to the press though.
