I realize that everyone has their price, but whatever it was for the Atlanta Braves, I hope it was astronomically high.In a move that can only be described as ridiculous, the Braves are going to insert a massive tomahawk chopping robotic Chick-Fil-A cow into their stadium and will unveil it on Friday.
The cow stands an absurd 40-feet high and weighs 15,000-pound, and yes, as stated before, it will indeed do the tomahawk chop. So that takes care of pissing off both Native Americans and PETA at the same time. Well done Braves.
So how do they justify putting this monstrosity in their stadium?
The Braves liked the idea because the cow enhances the fan experience, said Derek Schiller, executive vice president of sales and marketing for the Atlanta Braves.Of course it will be. At least until it gets struck by lightning, comes alive, and pulls a Godzilla on downtown Atlanta.
"I think it's going to be a great complement to the stadium," Schiller said.
Although who knows, it may inspire Chipper to hit .400 this year
By the way, I'd kind of like to hear Henry Aaron's thoughts on the cow. I'm sure he wishes the Braves had something like this in the stadium during his playing days. Or maybe not.
