The Chicago Blackhawks rough season just got much weirder.
Video emerged on Saturday of the Blackhawks mascot, Tommy Hawk, fighting with a fan. Tommy appears to slam the man to the ground while throwing some punches before pushing him away.

Apparently, the man fighting Tommy tried to take off his mask. Whatever happened, the Blackhawks mascot wasn’t having any of it and quickly disposed of his aggressor.
Is this an actual fight? Is this a joke? Maybe a bit of both? It’s hard to tell, but it appears to be a legitimate fight which isn’t a good look for the organization, the mascot, or the fan. Chicago’s won just 10 of 34 games this season, but clearly, Tommy Hawk picked up another W for the team against this fan – even if there are still so many questions surrounding the incident.
