    "He ugly," Philadelphia Councilman Curtis Jones Jr. said of the Philadelphia Flyers' new mascot, Gritty. Jones was the only council member to shout nay when the Philadelphia City Council voted to formally welcome the mascot.https://n.pr/2yAgBm0

        Only the desperately pathetic post political responses about non political stories. It’s sad. These are folks that seek acceptance and validation.

        I’m with C Jones. Gritty is nasty 🤢. Not a good representative of the Flyers nation.
