In what might be the greatest example of the current state of the Chicago Blackhawks, the team's mascot got into a legitimate fight with a fan at United Center this weekend.
Chicago police say that a fan attacked Tommy Hawk, punching the mascot in the face and trying to put the giant bird into a headlock following Chicago's overtime loss to the Jets on Friday.. According to the Chicago Sun Times, the alleged attacker was as a white man between 18 and 20, about 5-foot-5 and 160 pounds.
The man inside the Tommy Hawk costume wasn't having any of the attacker's nonsense and decided to fight back, throwing punches of his own. At one point, the mascot looked to suplex the assailant. Luckily, this altercation was captured on video by an onlooker.

"THIS IS HOCKEY!!!!"
“... white man ...”
I never see a description of a person’s skin color, unless the person is white. Or “white hispanic.”
Old Time Hockey Mascot!
Good point. The media’s anti-white racism is despicable.
Hold my beer...I’m gonna get the snot kicked out of me by that bird over there
OOOO K
Will Tommy be fined and suspended?
Love that movie!!!
looks like some dumb-ass high school kid
Greatest hockey movie of all time.
“Unfortunately for Blackhawks fans, this might be the most fight that the team has shown all season.”
OUCH
Tommy Hawk? Putting my leftist mush-for-brains skull cap on here. Haha, that’s gotta be racist, right? Well, if that ain’t it will be soon enough....
“Police say the fan started the altercation, but the team is looking into it”
I’m sure alcohol played no part in the altercation. /s/
I now know what suplex means.
Hehe...yeah. I went to the fights the other night and a hockey game broke out.
Tommy Hawk chop.
No outrage from the Left about a team with an American Indian (”Native American”) mascot, name, and logo, and the name is Tommy Hawk?
One character on Twin Peaks is an American Indian known as Hawk, a deputy.Where did the nickname come from? Well in his youth Tom Hill got the name because of his ethnicity...”Tommy Hawk”. .
The old Chicago Stadium was an interesting place to be at, even during the 1940s, early 50s period. I recall the late Red Storey (former NHL referee during that time) saying that people used to be at the rink a good one or a couple of hours before the game. Some would bring decks of cards to play with during that time before the game and these fans would not be above wrapping the cards in tight rubber bands and throwing them at the on ice officials or opposing players (certainly did not tickle when you were hit by one of those decks of cards).
The old Rodney Dangerfield joke was, “I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out!”
