We got lynched in effigy by Freddy the Falcon during pregame

[Jase]

During pregame Atlanta's mascot drove a stuffed panthers fan around on the back of an ATV, ran over it, then tied it to the back with a long rope and drove it around the end zone.

you lynched a panthers fan in effigy in the middle of civil rights country.

I'm surprised they didn't hang it from the cross bar and set it on fire.

I know we all hate florio but this is just the type of thing he'd latch onto.

What?

[PantherDude]

That prove Atlanta are still the king with having drunken rednecks & racists. We're more liberal than them. And we don't hang a "black" thing like they do in the South like Atlanta.

Tasteless.

Probably what most of their weekends looked like so hey play to your audience

[Ricky Spanish]

not a big deal

[Mr. Scot]

I know it's just a mascot and all but I gotta admit that is in kinda poor taste.

Probably wouldn't get up in arms about it, but yeah, that was a bad idea.

Falcons fans can never call us rednecks ever again.

First thing that came to my mind was the murder of James Byrd, and then I came upon this tidbit.

The pre-game shenanigans weren't racist, but they were in definitely poor taste.

I'll be surprised if no one else says anything. In Atlanta, no less.

Fiz's strategy: light a fire, pour a little gasoline, run off and watch it burn from a distance.

next year at halftime we should feed a bunch of live falcons to a live panther.

NC is definitely less racist than Georgia. That joke was in poor taste, and should get Falcons bad press.

The double Quarter Pounder with cheese is less fat than the Baconator.
