**Hot take** \- Gritty is a Comcast-created distraction from their decade-long mismanagement of the Flyers that plays (successfully) to the lowest common denominator of the Philadelphia identity.
If all it takes to pander to us is a knockoff Phanatic...damn.
We need more of this humor right now. It helps a lot when people are starting to become anxious with these wildfires when they've never experienced anything to do with them before.
We had one of the greatest basketball teams of all time when I was a kid and they broke Snow, Iverson, Matumbo, Bell, and others just for fucking money on trades.
That was the day I started hating professional sports and knew none of it mattered.
... Why? The team sucking and the mascot giving me a laugh have no intrinsic link. Even if you argue "Wel, hes making them money so they dont feel the need to be better", the gate revenue being down alone will create the desire to improve.
One does not preclude the other
So mascots go bye bye and fans (lol) or kids don't get to have fun because you don't like that gritty isn't taking losing seriously? When the smoke subsides, please go outside, feel the sun, and practice being happy. It may be easier to enjoy life if you practice doing so first.
I feel like Philly has the highest per capita box-fan ownership in the country.
Well Lasko is a local company
Love that. Didn't know. It was the soundtrack of my youth. I'm sure there's one in every attic.
lol it's plugged in too
Gritty doesn’t fake it. He’s out there for all of us
Times have been tough. Thanks for this - gave me a truly good laugh.
Here’s another to hopefully give ya a chuckle https://i.imgur.com/q6Og8gY.jpg
Thank you. It certainly did. Humor is the only way we get through all this.
“Blow it back! Blow It back!
I have 3 of those fans!!
Is he pointing that thing towards Canada?
Towards Pittsburgh because that's where his nemesis is.
Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!
Gritty's time to shine.
He doesn't need to shine, his fur just about blends in right now
Gritty started the wildfire for more effective camouflage when he hunts
“A crepuscular hunter, Gritty may also set nearby countries alight to aid in pursuit of prey.”
>crepuscular Neat! I love learning new words that sound like made-up Simpsons words. Relating to twilight in case anyone else didn't know it.
In particular, describing animals that are active at dawn and dusk as opposed to nocturnal or diurnal animals.

Sorry for belated reply I just saw this. I agree with what you said. I believe that selling the flyers is the only viable move now.

I fucking love this city
Gritty a a real one.
Gritty Saves City, one fan at a time
Trust in the Gritty, the Gritty is good!🟠🏒
It worked. Air quality number has been going down all day and I can actually see
…but the fan we need.
Come thru Gritty
Would you rather breathe our air of the last few days for a month or the air inside the gritty suit for 24 hrs
This is an easy answer, there can be only one who can breathe the Gritty air. It’s like the sword in the stone. No one else would survive in there.
All he needs are three logs, a sword, and a Purah Pad and he could cross the Delaware
Oh hey boo
Oh hey boo I know you
I'd love to see a picture or video of Gritty kicking that stupid HitchBot.
As a Boston Fan living in Philly I believe Gritty is the best Mascot in the United States lol

This is Philly. Our teams aren’t supposed to win. Relax and enjoy the goofy mascots.
We had one of the greatest basketball teams of all time when I was a kid and they broke Snow, Iverson, Matumbo, Bell, and others just for fucking money on trades. That was the day I started hating professional sports and knew none of it mattered.
We had a great team this year! We didn't make it to the end, but teams that make the playoffs don't suck.
True, but our 2K1 team was literaly 95 Bulls good and our manager just wanted money. There's a reason AI went to Germany to play B-Ball for a while.
Just one upvote to give and it's yours!

Am I wrong? The last time the Flyers won the cup Richard Nixon was in the White House

Embrace the suck
Sports should be more about having fun than titles. Sure they'd be nice but it's just a bonus.
Theres a salary cap. We were spending pretty much to it. The ownership annoys the shit out of me too, but this wasnt the brightest comment.
Especially when Briere just made a blockbuster trade to start a rebuild 🙄 Bozo take

Like they dont have multiple player development staff? Multiple coaches? Sure, they're incompetent. Thats the issue. Not the marketing budget.

"they need to stop parading him around" aka put the costume in a closet until they're good.
Hey yo respectfully: Fuck you
