“We have an official announcement from the Bear Clutchers main office. While the management is not pleased with the outcome of regionals, the results were not unexpected. We know that the true fans will stick with the team and support them through this trying period.

Cuddles was never really hurt during the game, and will be making her appearances as scheduled.
We have visited Patches in the recovery area and while he will heal, his eyes still have not stopped rolling in his skull. The handlers are evaluating whether he will ever put on a regulation Bear Clutchers uniform again.
Flower seems emotionally disturbed by outcome of today's contest, and rumors of his self-medicating are completely unfounded. Fans are encouraged to send prayers and financial donations to Flower in his hour of need.
Blu'Bogan was also sedated in the dugout following his injury, and team management is waiting until they get in contact with the families of the handlers before releasing their names or the extent of their injuries. (Anyone interested in an exciting and lucrative career in Entertainment Wildlife Handling are encouraged to file an application with Doctor Alixand Alecster at the Bear Clutchers training facility immediately. Candidates with the ability to suture while wearing steel mesh gloves will be prioritized.)
The Bear Clutchers appreciate the effort shown by Neari Roo over the past season, it would appear that her passion for the game is lacking. Her contract shall not be renewed as the team enters the Summer season, but it is expected that she will be permitted to take an off-field role supporting the team.
That is all.”
