what gets me about Gritty is that there’s no way it could have been a one person decision. for something as important as the franchise’s mascot, there had to be a committee, with at least one or two check-ins from someone in ownership. there had to have been.

and at no point during the process before posting that first picture did someone say “hey maybe this thing is horrifying?” up until the very last second, everyone was like, “yes, this is what we want. what a clever idea we’ve had. let’s show the world.”

what I’m trying to say is this: how did something like Gritty get approved to represent a team as it’s mascot in an intensively media trained organization in the year of our nightmares 2018?
