Why is the Mariners mascot a moose?
Because the Mariners are closed. Moose out front should have told you.

Bobcats are native to Arizona, duh.

I mean good on the Rockies to actually put the real story out there.
What?
frick the Rockies for jumping to conclusions and publicly labeling their own fan a heinous bigot. They've done the absolute bare minimum here.
When they go big on a public apology and a "Stigmatizing people as racists without proper assessment is a major problem in our society" statement - call me

Well at least it started a conversation.

I guess it's sad I just assume most sports teams wouldn't even try to bring it back, and when a team shows at least some effort towards trying to actually investigate and give real findings I'm appreciative.

It’s funny how so many people on twitter are still saying he 100% said the n-word.

The mascot is a Dinger?

I get where you're coming from. Nonetheless, none of us should be satisfied with a meek remedy to a loud, false and public flaming of racial flames.

I just assumed everyone would let this story die out honestly. It would be nice to get a public statement and I assumed that’s what it was before actually looking at the tweet. At least there wasn’t some public identification of the person yet. I don’t know my expectations in all these situations are extremely low at this point

I really want this to become an instance where the organization is forced to bend over backwards for this fan…and that’s because I like the Rockies.

Dinger will be Rocko soon.

It’ll die out like all the other claims of racism that aren’t actually true
Like Lebron James gate in his million dollar home in a million dollar neighborhood in Brentwood having a racial slur spray painted on it. Yet no one has any video or photos of it. And they painted over the gate before the cops got there

Anyway, good to know where the team and the media members who cover the team stand on the issue -- namely, against racism and racist rhetoric -- which is encouraging to hear. But, with that said ... maybe it's time to consider a new face/name for the franchise in light of this.
Dinger might be just a little too close to something else, it appears.
And there it is folks. Not only is the word itself frowned upon but any words that a moron could mistake as the actual word are frowned upon.
A purple dinosaur named "dinger" which is a euphemism for a home run is not acceptable for the woke.
It's like trying to appease a psychopath. You can't ever hope to truly please them, but you still choose to play their stupid game everyday. They know they'll never be satisfied.

I'm sure the activist groups have it ready just in case. Activism is a full time job, like being the leader of Al Qaeda.

I'd sue the piss out the Rockies.

The Rockies tell me last night’s incident was a fan shouting to get the attention of the Rockies mascot Dinger, not a racial slur.
Rockies will re-name their mascot very soon. Homer?
