Braves Briefing: Atlanta mascot Blooper gets called out by the Hawks

The beloved Atlanta Braves mascot did not have the hops.

There's a lot of conflict and disagreement in the world but there is one thing we can all agree on - Blooper is a national treasure.

The Atlanta Braves mascot is beloved by all but he may need to work on his hops a little bit. At an Atlanta Hawks game, Blooper went for a dunk but didn't get a clean jump off the trampoline. It didn't end well and the Atlanta Hawks social media team called out their city's most successful mascot.
