Here’s a quick lesson on why being a total dick will always come back to bite you. There’s nothing worst than the adult sports fan who takes things way too serious and ruins a kid’s day because of it.
A prime example happened last night at the Jazz-Clippers playoff game. They had one of those on-court contests that we see all of the time, this one involving racing those giant bubble balls (I think they’re called knockerballs, but I’m not totally sure). Of course the asshole adult takes a cheap shot on the kid to win the race and what happens after makes it worth it.
Adult @LAClippers fan is a dick to kid in fun quarter-time race.@utahjazz mascot DEE-STROYS him.

Good on the Jazz bear for laying the hammer on this dude. Sometimes a mascot’s gotta do what a mascot’s gotta do and if that means bullying some dickhead fan, then so be it.
He also might’ve gotten concussed
Oh wow. That fan looked in bad nick. Even the Jazz announcer asked "Is he OK?" pic.twitter.com/vx6srX5En9
