Commanders' Management: "I ask you, fans, who do you want as your mascot?"
Commanders Fans: "We want the pig!"
Commanders' Management: "Then the pig it shall be!"
Commanders Fans: "We hate it! Sell the team!"
I'll admit that, when Major Tuddy was first unveiled, I wasn't exactly thrilled, and the problems with him a very easy to point out.
But the only reason there is so much hate for Major Tuddy is just because he's new. Sports fans lose their minds and start screaming "Sell the team!" whenever ANYTHING changes. I witnessed it firsthand when the Vegas Golden Knights announced their team name, followed by the introduction of Chance, their mascot (who will absolutely not ever be getting his own pet skitsune because I hate that city and likely will still be hating it long after I'm dead). They also hated the team's name, and hated the mascot. But it didn't even take a year before everyone was suddenly sporting black and gold colors and acting like Chance had been representing the city for longer than Elvis.
It's even more irritating in this case because, as I noted above, the Commanders' fans voted for Major Tuddy. He is literally what they said they wanted with a 75% majority. And as soon as he arrives, they immediately turn on him.
They gave Major Tuddy the full Ned Grimes treatment.
Well, if there's one thing Verity and I have learned over the years, it's that the best, most genuine mascots are often found representing the worst teams and/or fans. He may be only one tenth as cute and lovable as Stormy of the Carolina Hurricanes, but I'd still give him at least a C+ on the immersion factor, and that's good enough for Verity to see if you would be a loving owner to a skitsune belly-pet.
As an added bonus, now it makes sense that he has a muffin top.
