Agree/disagree? Associated Press declares Atlanta's Olympic mascot is no longer the worst in history, Paris 2024 takes the cake

Do you realize the thread title with your name reads, "Atlanta's Olympic mascot is no longer the worst in history, Paris 2024 takes the rojo." Your reward is the worst mascot in history. Yikes!

I see you edited the thread title to add "cake" at the end. Instead of, "Paris 2024 takes the rojo," it is now "Paris 2024 takes the cake rojo."

When are boys going allow the little people to edit the threads they started and their posts?

These comments correcting rojo/wejo grammar every thread is getting old. It’s an online message board not 10th grade English

The Atlanta mascot looks like the old paperclip icon that used to be on desktop computers.

0/10. "Paris 2024 takes the rojo" is the original title + name.

He’s asking about mascots, which are for children. It’s warranted.

Clippy was an improvement over Microsoft BOB.

Izzy is much worse. People forget that it wasn't called Izzy in the months leading up to the '96 Olympics. It was called Whatizit, as in What Is IT?

Phyrge looks like a little bird... or maybe a cap. At least it looks like SOMETHING!

Okay, a "worst in history award" is not as bad as winning a "rojo award." On LRC that makes sense. We'll have to wait to see who wins the next "rojo award."

I disagree.

The all-time worst mascot was Misha the Bear from the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. The organizing committee ordered a zillion of them, then every country with tourists wealthy enough to actually buy one went and boycotted the Olympics. Those ugly-azz surplus bears were showing up as mascots for 4th and 5th-tier events for decades afterwards.

No. I think these are the worst mascots:

Kind of reminds me of the Texas guy that went and ran in the high school state championship.

Maybe it's a Freudian slip like Deborah and her time doing stuff in Dallas (which they're from).

The F do we need stupid mascots for anyway? This looks like flaming red pop emoji. Should be a mascot for pee in your stool.

I have young kids and they couldn't care less for these randos in a suit. They want stuffies of things they know, or sports teams they follow not some one off event.

As wow! As Rojo nearly fell out of his chair right now! As he is SHOCKED a LOT and a TON. As Rojo is REAL smart and he go to REAL smart school Princeton as Dad send him Princeton

Looks like another swing and a miss. Or Kobi retains the title, depending on your perspective.

I remember when Izzy was introduced at Barcelona, only was called, "WhatzIt." Still looked like a mish-mash created by branding experts, but the new name was an improvement. This mascot (apparently there are two of them) are referred to as "The Phryges," a reference to the Phrygian cap. Ahem:

Great choice for a country that will be majority-Muslim any second now, where the youth movement is bubbling over, and where Macron is, from what I can tell, universally hated by young people. Worst mascot of all time? C'est vrai!

Mekhissi Benabaad should be the one and only judge of this

Wonder if this guy has anything to say about the new mascots:

If that was the mascot design that won for 2024 how bad were the rejected ones?
