Latest Updates on This Week's Victors and Vanquished
In the bustling city of New York, the mayoral race has reached a significant milestone, with only two candidates set to appear on the ballot in November. Several candidates were eliminated after June 24, leaving the field narrowed down to the final two contenders [1].
Among those who will not be gracing the ballot, there's a possibility of a change of persona. A former mayoral candidate might find solace in the world of sports, considering an opportunity to become the beloved mascot of the Buffalo Bills, a professional American football team [2].
The Buffalo Bills are currently hiring a part-time mascot handler, a role that is similar to an understudy for the iconic blue buffalo mascot. The specific requirements for this job are not detailed, but looking at similar roles, such as the Ralphie mascot handlers for the University of Colorado, handlers typically commit 20–30 hours per week, demonstrating a need for regular availability, physical fitness, and teamwork [2].
While no explicit disqualifications related to previous political candidacy or professional background are mentioned for the mascot handler role, eligibility may depend more on physical ability, availability, and commitment rather than career background [2]. Given that mascot handlers are often younger individuals, a former mayoral candidate could potentially be eligible if they meet the physical and time commitments and any other job-specific requirements set by the Buffalo Bills organization.
The mascot handler role offers a unique opportunity for a change of pace, a chance to step out of the political limelight and into the world of sports entertainment. However, given that mascot handlers are often volunteers or part-time students, the role may not be suitable for a full-time professional without flexibility [2].
The blue buffalo mascot, synonymous with the Buffalo Bills, does not have a direct connection to the New York City mayor's race. Unlike the mascot, the role of a mayor involves reading public opinion polls and making critical decisions that affect the city's future [3].
The blue buffalo mascot handler job pays $75 per hour, providing a financial boost for those taking on the role [4]. However, it's important to note that this role is part-time, requiring a commitment of time and energy that may vary depending on the team's schedule.
As the mayoral race heats up, early voting for the New York City mayoral election begins this weekend, while the Buffalo Bills continue their search for a dedicated and energetic mascot handler. Whether a former mayoral candidate will step up to the challenge remains to be seen.

In the midst of the New York mayoral race, a former contender might find an unexpected alternative in the world of sports-betting as a mascot handler for the Buffalo Bills. Despite no official disqualifications for the role, the former mayoral candidate could potentially be eligible if they meet the physical and time commitments, as well as any other job-specific requirements. This role offers a change of pace, moving from the political limelight into the realm of sports entertainment, but it may not be suitable for a full-time professional due to its part-time nature.
