Isn't that comparable to the football team that recently had the whole team jumpimg up and down on Louisville's cardinal bird? What did U of L do? They proceeded to trounced them on the field quite thoroughly. Heck, that has made other teams scared to stomp on our mascot.

She's honestly just milking this for all its worth. He hit it because she was being disrespectful...She said she's hurt and had to get X-rays when she wasn't THAT hurt because after he hit her, she got right up and tried to swing at him. AND this past Monday was the Y-PAS open house and she performed and was completely fine. Right now they are trying to play the racial card. That a white male hit her because she was a black female.

Well news flash?
a) Get over that racial crap.
b) NO ONE CAN SEE WHAT COLOR OR GENDER YOU ARE WHEN YOU ARE IN A BIG RAM SUIT.

God.
Makes me angrier than anything.

Of course people can see what color you are when you're in a big Ram suit. You're

Crimson!

Barf.

Manual is bull.
End of story.
