Can't say that I can think of a comparable sport ritual involving the desecration of a real dead animal's body.

They used to throw rubber chickens on the ice for a bad call, and hats for a “hat trick.”

I'm no animal right wacko, but this is just weird.

At NASCAR races, they throw chicken wings on the lower seats. Usually its just the bones.
