Orlando Strip Clubs: Orlando Predators need to Klaw their way back
… You do have to wonder a little bit,” Duckworth said, “If you’re questioning the value of a mascot you just have to look a few miles down the road at Disney.”
Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald are all about cute and cuddly and driving sales for their respective franchises. (As a quick aside, can I just say that that “King” dude from Burger King really creeps me out? He belongs in Halloween Horror Nights, not behind a fast-food counter. The guy is a freak show).
Klaw doesn’t do cute and cuddly. He’s the front man for a spectacle perfectly described by my good friend Phil Fry years ago: “Arena football is like a cross between a strip club and a tractor pull.” You can see why Klaw had to customize his outfit in 1995 to include steel-toed boots with soles that grip the arena walking surface. Too much beer. “I was slipping a lot,” Duckworth said.
