Attention Mascots (and teams with one)

[Grim Tuesday]

Girls on our team have had problems with creepy mascots as well. In some cases, it isn't the costume, it's the person inside who thinks they can get away with anything when they're hidden behind a mask.

One of the biggest problems is who this behavior should be reported to. Our team has had issues with non-mascot harassment as well and we never knew who in FIRST we should even contact. It's important to remember that this kind of thing can also happen at off-season events. In our case, it ended up becoming a police matter.
