Dance Like Everybodys Watching!: The Weird and Wonderful World of Sporting Mascots

Giant hornets, rampaging rabbits, dancing dinosaurs, angry ants, human boiler systems. A nightmarish vision of a post-apocalyptic future? Maybe. But these are also the furry characters who add that little extra spice to every sporting occasion. These are the worlds mascots.

What is the point of them? To cajole, to intimidate, to inspire, to celebrate, to console, to terrify young children? Who knows, and frankly, who cares? They are here to stay and theres nothing we can do about it, so we might as well enjoy them.

Dance Like Everybodys Watching! is a loving and hysterical celebration of the best, worst, silliest and most absurd mascots sport has to offer.
