A man behind Chicago's 'Benny the Bull' Mascot Is Leaving, because a kid from Montana transformed the mascot into a man.
The life of Barry Anderson, the performer behind the Chicago Bulls' "Benny the Bull" mascot from 2004 to 2016 appears to have ended.Anderson, who retired from the role prior to the 2016-17 season, has been sued by a former Chicago Bulls sideline server who alleges the mascot's physical ways led to a severe injury.
On one of the more compelling nights in recent Chicago Bulls history, a Bulls win that saw former Chicago guard Derrick Rose hit a game-winning three-pointer, there was an incident that took place.
Anderson and the Bulls are being sued by a 51-year old woman who worked as a server at the United Center.Steve Schmadeke is a writer for the Chicago Tribune.
Barry Anderson was running out of control on the court when he injured his ankle during the break.According to the personal injury lawsuit filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court, Anderson was limping off the court with help from someone else when he pressed his fuzzy red hand on Garcia's left shoulder and bore down with his full body weight.

Anderson and the Bulls were sued by a dentist after he tore his bicep during a Bulls game.In 2010 the case was settled.
Anderson was in character as Benny when he punched an off-duty Cook County sheriff's deputy who tried to stop him from riding a mini motorcycle through the Taste of Chicago.
No ankle sprains or human crutches appear to be involved in the video packages presented above, let alone high fives gone disastrous or tussles with off-duty sheriff's deputies.
