Football Practice Delayed Due to Bear on Field: Nature Clearly Not Trying to Help the Struggling Team
In yet another attempt to sabotage the already faltering team, Mother Nature decided to throw a furry wrench into the football practice schedule. A bear – yes, a bear – was found frolicking on the pristine field where the team had been scheduled to hold their crucial practice session.
As if the team’s performance on the field wasn’t shoddy enough, they now had to deal with a wild animal overstaying his welcome on their precious turf. Some sources have even reported that the bear was wearing a Patriots jersey and helmet, but these reports remain unverified.
The coach himself was heard shouting expletives at the sky, bemoaning the fact that his team had yet another obstacle thrown in their path. “What’s next?” he yelled. “A pack of rabid raccoons taking over our locker room?”
The players themselves were not immune to the absurdity of the situation. One unnamed player was quoted as saying “I mean, I know our opponents are tough, but this is just ridiculous. Can we get a break?”
The school’s resident wildlife expert was called in to remove the wild intruder from the field, but not before the bear had gotten in a few good snaps with the team’s quarterback, much to the delight of some of the more enthusiastic fans in attendance.
Despite the humorous nature of the situation, many have called into question the safety of having such a dangerous animal on campus. “What if a child had been playing nearby?” asked one concerned parent. “This kind of thing just shouldn’t happen.”
Others have pointed out that the bear was probably more afraid of the team than they were of it – citing the team’s dismal performance on the field as the likely cause.
Whatever the case may be, it’s clear that the odds are not in favor of this hapless football team. With each obstacle thrown their way, it seems less and less likely that they will be able to come out on top. But hey, on the bright side, at least they have a bear on their side now.
