This made me curious about something: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_ea...

Text from Wikipedia entry for Bald Eagle: "It has occurred as a vagrant twice in Ireland; a juvenile was shot illegally in County Fermanagh on January 11, 1973 (misidentified at first as a white-tailed eagle), and an exhausted juvenile was captured near Castleisland in County Kerry on November 15, 1987. There is also a record of it from Llyn Coron in Anglesey, United Kingdom, from October 17, 1978; the provenance of this individual eagle has remained in dispute."

Jaxson de Ville is NOT always sensitive to the plight if other peoples

A screenshot from Jaxson de Ville's Wikipedia:

Jaxson de Ville will NOT be swayed by the NFL mascots' cultural norms

An except from Jaxson de Ville's Wikipedia:

Jaxson is known for his antics. He is very interactive with the crowd and the Jaguars players, and sometimes interacts with the opposing team's players. He often mocks and jokes with the other team's mascot, if they are present. These acts got him into trouble in 1998 and stemmed the changing of the NFL's mascot rules. However, Jaxson was still seen, by some, as a mascot that gets in the way during the game. After the October 22, 2007 game against Indianapolis, Colts President Bill Polian complained to the NFL, and Jaxson was reprimanded. During the November 18, 2007 home game Jaxson spent a good portion of the game in a makeshift "cage", but was released for short periods of time so he could interact with fans and also to give him an opportunity to ride his scooter.
