Gritty Accused of Punching 13 Year Old (UPD: No Criminal Charges to be Pursued)

[TK 421]

I have a 13 year old, they're just begging to be punched. I'm auto-siding with Gritty on this one and frankly I'm jealous.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Is Gritty a repeat offender?

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

I am V skeptical of this story. On the surface, it sounds like a money grab.

The whole thing doesn't make sense.

Alternatively:

"Dad trying to make a quick buck"

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Dad sounds like an asshole.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I didn't know I needed it, but now I need to see Gritty in costume in court and the subsequent courtroom sketch.

 

[Esq]

What the **** are you looking at, kid?

 

[compan]

Amazing

 

[Smart Alek]

I wouldn't downplay this. The father took his son to a chiropractor, so you KNOW it's serious.

 

[JT Kreider]

 

[JoVel]

Gritty should punch his father too.

 

[The Macho King]

Honestly, taking a kid to a chiropractor should be grounds for someone calling CPS.

Gritty can do no wrong in my eyes

 

[HockeyFan100]

Gritty is truly a generational mascot!

 

[Nihiliste]

Lol

Especially if they get this guy to do it

The chiropractor is awesome.

 

[Hasbro]

was the kid wearing a Sidney Crosby jersey?

Was it Sydney Crosby?

 

[BrokenFace]

Kid's gotta learn to keep his head up out there. Put himself in a dangerous spot. Gritty might get a fine based on past behavior, but no way the DoPS suspends him.

 

[Jozay]

Every 13 year old boy deserves to get punched.

 

[Senor Catface]

No way, is this the face of something that could physically harm someone else?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

His name is Gritty. Go somewhere else if you don’t want your kid to get punched by a mascot.

 

[NyQuil]

The amusing irony is that the mascot was originally called Kid Puncher.

 

[Sheppy]

What a legend.

 

[Doctor No]

Guarantee this reporter had no idea they'd be doing this when they came in this morning.
