MASCOT MELEE: Freddie Falcon picks fight with peewee football player

Article content

Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?

Unfortunately, Freddie Falcon didn’t follow that rule after he seemingly picked a fight with a peewee player during a football game that took place Sunday during half-time of the tilt between the Atlanta Falcons and the Cincinnati Bengals.

In a friendly game between the Atlanta Colts peewee team and the mascots of Atlanta’s sports teams, an unnamed member of the Colts team was running down the field with ball in clutch when the Falcons’ mascot chased after him and tackled him to the ground.

The Colts player threw down the football and got back up to his feet when Freddie Falcon approached him with a shove. The player then got in the mascot’s face and struck him with the ball, which started a bowling shoe-ugly shoving match between the two.

The rest of the Colts squad showed up to defend their teammate, surrounding Freddie before referees came in to break things up.

Being a true heel, Freddie then celebrated, raising one wing in the air as he walked away.

It’s not known whether the fight was legitimate or predetermined.
