There are couple things about this article that I'd suggest are outright wrong and evidenced by the multiple video viewpoints included in the piece. First, it looks from the video that the mascot was not punched in the chest the second time, but punched directly in the face with both punches. Second, it looks like dragging the mascot off the floor was staged and planned for ahead of time based on how quickly the surrounding helpers started to gather around him and slide him off the court.
