The Rockies' mascot is under fire.
According to the Denver Post, a disgruntled fan claims that:
- Dinger is fat and promotes a poor-health lifestyle for kids.
- Dinger's antics are not creative nor funny.
- Dinger is a narcissistic creature who gets in the way of the game and "wants to be his own show."
Yahoo have also picked up on the issue. We here at Mascot Hijinks offer our full support to the purple dinosaur. Our responses to the allegations:
- MH does not condone judging people based on physical appearance. Some of the world's finest mascots are a little portly, e.g., the Oregon Duck, the Utah Jazz Bear and the Rays' Raymond.
- Dinger's antics are hilarious; click here to see his collected works.
- Much like The Narcissist, Lex Luger, Dinger has every right to reflect upon his own brilliance in any way he sees fit.
