By now, kids should know that Blooper, the Braves' mascot, simply cannot be tackled. Those who try will be bulldozed. Whatever Blooper hits, he destroys.
During the Vikings' annual Mascots vs. Kids halftime game, Blooper again ran over a young man attempting to tackle him. There might be a chalk outline of the young man on the U.S. Bank Stadium field after this collision.

The kid wore No, 50 like a fearsome linebacker would. Unfortunately, he looked like anything but that against the force that is Blooper.
This isn't the first time that the Braves' mascot plowed over a child. Last December, Blooper crushed multiple kid defenders on a bruising run. Someday, perhaps these young gridiron hopefuls will learn.
