Do you believe this story that this orange giant punched this kid?


This is the moment Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyer's Fuzzy orange mascot who stared down the 13 y/o kid who PATTED his HEAD just before he PUNCHED him as a photo of him and his dad was taken with the mascot as police are now investigating!!

Chris Greenwall, the boy's father and longtime season ticket holder of the Philadelphia Flyers wrote in a FB post that his son, Brandon was "punched and injured" by Gritty and the organization tried to bribe him to keep quiet

He told the Phillie Inquirer describing the November 19th incident that happened at the Wells Fargo Centre duringane event for season ticket holders

After this infamous photo was taken, Gritty stood up to walk away before RUNNING and PUNCHED him and walked away again. The pat on the head apparently agitated the man in the costume who went full beserk after the picture taking

The company that owns the Flyers said it looked into the incident but had no "video evidence" of their claim and did not find evidence of such interaction after interviewing Gritty, "Gritty's handlers" and others

They said they took his claim seriously and conducted an investigation but found nothing

Now he isn't renewing his season tickets and his son had to see a chiropractor and was diagnosed witha back issue

He said "After this, i am ashamed of how the Flyeres have treated a 23 year loyal season ticket holder and my 13 y/o son and forcing me new to renew my tickets next year Those who know us know that Flyers hockey is our favourite thing to do. We even won the Season Ticket Holder of the year award in 2013 and we were able to be int he team picture with the team"

Mr. Greenwall sought an apology and for the team to pay for medical bills associated with this but after numerous attempts to they were denied any of it and instead offered "perks" to keep them quiet.

The police is now undergoing an investigation.

Gritty has become one of the most popular NHL mascots since it's introduction in 2018 and was voted best mascot last year

Do you think believe this orange giant punched this kid?

The kid whispered a racial slur in Grittys ear. Gritty will always stand against intolerance.

This is an allegation that makes no sense. Flyers have already done an investigation and found nothing.

The same day this apparently happened, the dad put up a bunch of pictures and was very happy with what happened that day.

I think this is a cash grab.

You can barely see in those costumes. This is like when a Tigger at Disney got dragged into court for supposedly groping a woman.

So going on the pictures, dads wearing a different jersey with gritty than he is next to the ice. Was gonna ask if the picture was taken before or after the game, but I now I guess Im asking when in general the picture was taken. Maybe son slips or something happens and dad sees this as a way to make a quick buck.

Gritty has always sucked because fuck the flyers but Ive never heard anything but good about the guy and he seems loved everywhere.

This and the fact that none of the other kids or parents saw ANYTHING makes me think it's definitely bs. If I saw a mascot punch a kid right away I'd be yelling and drawing attention to it. You mean to tell me that either nobody saw anything or they all decided to stay quiet? Nah.

Yes some mascots do go crazy, but it is highly unlikely for one to go crazy over that. Those people put up with a ton of crap. And that is what makes him go crazy.

Don't fuck with Gritty. I hate the Flyers and yet he's easily the best mascot in the league.
