Hide your kids. 

Mascots are typically fun-loving bastions of joy for men, women and children at sporting events, but never forget. Underneath those costumes, are real deal adults. 

So, if you're thinking about allowing your child to line it up against one in what you think is a well-intended, family-friendly simulation of athletic activity, you may want to think again. They'll straight beast your little bundle of joy with no remorse. 

Saturday, social media blessed our timelines with a compilation video of various mascots taking it to peoples' children on the football field. Don't let your conscience (it's not child abuse) stop you from enjoying it. It's pretty funny. 

SPORTS MASCOTS: The good, the bad and the ridiculous

 

Now, that's what I call entertainment.
