Tampa Bay fan harasses Florida's mascot and then goes back to his seat (video)
I really don't understand this one at all. During the Florida Panthers absolute drubbing of the Tampa Bay Lightning Monday night, Victor E. Rat, the Panthers mascot, was completely manhandled by a Bolts fan without much interference from anyone at the arena.
The fan grabs the mascot and bends him over a railing, pulling his jersey up over his head while arena officials look on. After way too long, they finally step in, half-heartedly getting the person away from the mascot. The man then casually walks back to his seat. There's no word on whether he might have been kicked out later, or was just left to enjoy the rest of the game, as much as you can enjoy a 7-1 loss anyway. Either way, it's hard to figure out why no one stepped in earlier and more forcefully here.
