4. I don't get the unhappiness

It's cute. Animals don't wear pants. There's nothing wrong with it. How is it more stupid than, say, the Phillies mascot (Phillies Phanatic), who also doesn't appear to have pants.

I think the reaction is because all the disgusting, vomiting drunks who fill the stands at Wrigley Field don't want to attract kids to the game: interferes with their drinking. After all, what else is there to do when you go to a Cubs game? Not watch it certainly. (I say this as a former Cubs fan who used to go to games back in the 70s; when we moved back to Chicago I went twice, and it was such a horrendous experience I haven't returned.)
