“Fowl Ball?”

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/01/footballer-in-colombia-could-face-jail-for-kicking-owl-off-field/?hpt=C2

Colombian soccer player is facing up to three months in jail for kicking an opposing team's lucky owl during a match last weekend. The owl is considered lucky because it is the only animal that knows how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. (Three.)

Yes, an owl for a mascot. Apparently, that team they were playing against was from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Because it's a soccer story, if it weren't for the owl, no one in America would give a hoot.
