Yikes. Not going to lie, I'm feeling a little bit uncomfortable over here. There's a thin line between mascot and furry and I think Grizz just Magic Mike'd his way past it. Before this very second I never would have thought that the over-sexualization of people dressed up in bear suits was something that we needed to concern ourselves with, but that all changed once one decided to strip himself of his uniform.

​In fact, I think by treating this like it was some harmless, 'PG' act we are really trivializing the desires of an entire fetish community. I don't know how we determine which sexualities deserve a voice, but having their own category on PornHub seems like as good of a reason as any to be sensitive to the animalistic desires of a particular group of people. The man behind the mask might not be into fucking with his "work clothes" on, but that just means he appropriated the shit out of the culture of those that like a little inter-species beastiality. On the surface this was just a creative little way to make the fans laugh. However, if even one dick inside the FedEx Forum got semi-hard when Grizz went on an air-humping spree that would have the NFL considering execution by slaughter then I think we have to consider this was less about stripping and more about teasing a proud group of deviants. As anyone that danced to the song 'Too Close' with a female friend in middle school can attest, it's all fun and games until a boner jam has it's intended effect in a public Forum.
