In this Monday, Jan. 13, 2020 file photo, the Philadelphia Flyers' mascot, Gritty, performs during an NHL hockey game in Philadelphia.The Philadelphia Flyers, however, say that an internal investigation found no evidence to suggest the event ever happened. “We took Mr. Greenwell’s allegations seriously and conducted a thorough investigation that found nothing to support this claim,” a Flyers spokesperson said in a statement, according to Reuters.

Gritty debuted as the Flyers' mascot in September 2018 and the large, furry orange creature was an instant hit. He was voted as the number one mascot in the National Hockey League just six months later in March 2019.

EVERY article I've seen on this asserts it was Gritty who allegedly hit the child, when in fact there is an actual person with a name under the costume. PLEASE be JOURNALISTS and release their name.

A week later he went to a chiropractor- give me a break. Dads a dick

If he needed medical attention why was it not brought up then right after it happened. I am sorry of my child is attacked, trust me when I say people will hear about when and right after it went down, not the second email after I didn't get my way. SMH

Liberal fscists are so violent that even liberal mascots attack people! The party of hate and violence is this liberal fascist party

Sorry, but this thing looks fucking creepy. Please tell me not all American mascots look like this. 😂

This seems like a cash grab but I didnt witness it so who knows.

And they say the crowds are rough in Philly lol

Wow

'His father was a 'bully,' so naturally he has some of those tendencies - talented but feisty, a fierce competitor, known for his agility given his size.'

I TOTALLY BELIEVE PHILLYS MASCOT DID IT
