The New York Mets released a statement on Twitter not long after video of their mascot flipping off a fan during Wednesday’s game began circulating online.
A Mets fan shared video of Mr. Met flipping him off during Wednesday’s 7-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The fan told LBS that all he did was ask for a high-five and that was the response.
In their statement, the Mets said they did not condone the mascot’s actions and that the matter will be handled internally.
A firing may be in line for that employee. But considering the mascot wears a cover over his head, would anyone really know whether the person was fired anyhow?
