The Los Angeles Clippers introduced a new mascot on Monday and it did not go over well.
The mascot is “Chuck the Condor.” Although the condor is a California bird, the Clippers clearly did not learn their lesson from the New Orleans Pelicans, which freaked everyone out with their mascot, because they did the same.
They unveiled Chuck at halftime of Monday’s game:

As part of the affair, team owner Steve Ballmer dunked off a trampoline:

That’s about where the fun for the Clippers ended and the memes began. Take a look at them below:
