I think that what separates the Chicago Butchers mascot from the rest of the league is that the Butchers mascot isn’t even a whole person or animal--Much like Thing from the Addams Family, the Chicago mascot is only a hand; a sentient hand, and it's got a cleaver. Easily the most frightening of all mascots, one has to wonder where the rest of the Butcher mascot’s body went (into the sausage, perhaps?) and perhaps more importantly, where did the blood on the cleaver come from? I imagine that among all the ISFL mascots, the Butcher hand is probably the least talkative due to the fact it is the only mascot without a mouth. Sure, you could argue that the Philadelphia Liberty’s bell mascot doesn’t have a mouth either, but at the end of the day it can still ring and be heard. The Butcher hand is a silent entity unless one happens to speak sign language, in which case one would quickly realize that the only thing the Butcher hand is capable of spelling out the word, “M E A T.” Despite being a poor conversationalist, the Butcher Hand is still someone you’d like to have in your crew when spending a late night out on the town, because no matter who your crew runs into and what problems may arise, no one is going to pick a fight with a sentient hand monster wielding a bloody cleaver.
