🐧 PENALTY PETE
Unofficial Official Mascot of Chaos, Oversight, and Violent Whistle Blows
Nickname: “The Penguin with the Flag” | “Ref of Rage” | “That Bird Who Yells at the Sky”
🚨 ORIGIN STORY
Penalty Pete didn’t ask to be born. He was summoned—whistled into existence by the collective frustration of fans everywhere. The moment a ref made three bad calls in a row, a gust of wind tore through the arena, and out waddled Pete, with a red flag, a striped shirt, and an expression that screamed, “I will throw this whole game away.”
Nobody hired him. He just started showing up. And no one has successfully removed him since.

🧍♂️ TEAM CONNECTIONS
Tank the Longhorn: Mutual disdain. Pete once flagged Tank for “excessive side-eye.”
Frostbite the Falcon: Loathing disguised as banter. Frostbite once stole Pete’s whistle. Pete replaced it with an airhorn.
Scorch the Scorpion: Pete flagged him for “unlicensed tail flamethrowing.” Scorch retaliated by spelling “RULE BREAKER” in mustard on Pete’s seat.
Crash the Armadillo: Pete actually likes Crash. He just won’t admit it. He once threw a flag at a fan who booed Crash’s halftime roll.
Millie James (Armadillos): Gave Pete a lanyard that said Certified Problem. He wears it every game.
Gloria Vega: Tried to ban Pete from the charity gala. Pete was already there. On stage.

🐧 FINAL THOUGHTS
Penalty Pete is not your friend. He’s not here for your touchdowns, field goals, breakaways, or buzzer-beaters. He’s here for your mistakes—and he keeps receipts. He waddles in judgment, whistles in fury, and lives to throw flags on joy itself.
