Mascots Standing in Silence Might Be the Most Absurd and Hilarious Aspect of Sports

We typically take sports pretty seriously. With so much at stake in the pros, not to mention fantasy sports, betting, and gambling we sometimes forget that these athletes are playing a children’s game.

In that light, we’ve compiled some truly absurd and hilarious photos. These aren’t just any sports pics, but team mascots standing in silence. Whether it’s the National Anthem, moment of silence, or otherwise…

These mascots are just trying to do their jobs.

Remembering that morning in September

It’s 24 years since that morning in September when a collective America watched in disbelief as within two hours two hijacked passenger planes took down New York City’s two 110-story world trade towers.

By noon, two more hijacked planes went down, first, slamming into the Pentagon headquarters, followed by the forced crash of a fourth plane found incinerated in a field in Pennsylvania, its passengers having perished fighting the hijackers to avert them from their intended target thought to be the Capitol Building.
