Ha Ha Clinton-Dix freaking out over bear encounter proves he’s one of us (video)
Fansided ^ | 6-25-20 | Mark Powell

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix ran into a bear on an electric scooter, and his response was exactly what it should have been.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix may terrify wide receivers heading across the middle, but one video should change all of that. The Dallas Cowboys safety was riding his electric scooter through a side street, and came across a disinterested opponent.

Clinton-Dix is familiar with Bears — he used to play for their clan in Chicago. However, he was clearly unfamiliar with their type in the wild. On Monday night around 8:45 p.m., Clinton-Dix was hilariously caught on a security camera scooting away as quickly as humanly possible after running into a mama bear and her cub.

Cowboys safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix wanted nothing to do with two bears he ran into on the street. Clinton-Dix is lucky here on two counts: First, mama Bear did not see him on time. The two mammals were preoccupied with wondering the backstreets in search of food. Evidently, the 27-year-old Clinton-Dix didn’t qualify as such.

Second, Clinton-Dix had a scooter! As goofy as it looks on camera, Clinton-Dix was able to remove himself from danger at a quicker pace than his usual foot-speed, even as an NFL player who once ran a 4.5 40-yard dash, by ghosting his scooter in the direction of the bears.

“I play D # gotta be ready to go,” Clinton-Dix said of the incident. “A lil high on my flip turn but the drive was there. I ain’t know how many was over there.”

On second look, that doesn’t seem intentional. And as much as Clinton-Dix can try and play this off as smooth, he reacted as any of us would — startled, and afraid for our lives.

The Alabama product signed with Dallas on a one-year contract worth just under $4 million this offseason. He’d rather not risk that money thanks to a Bear attack.

There was a bear on the loose last week in a pretty densely populated city neighborhood in Pittsburgh. Black bear are experiencing a population boom in these parts.

LOL!! Reminds me of a funny WWII story told by the late Audie Murphy. Seems he and a couple of his buddies were burrowing into a hay stack for a might’s sleep when they heard a couple of Germans doing the same thing from the other side. The hay stack suddenly erupted with Germans and Americans running away from it in opposite directions as fast as they could.

I had to chuckle when the momma bear stopped and turned around and saw the dude high tailing it out of there. I can just imagine her saying “damn, wassup with that””......LOL!
