Arizona State mascot sends recovering city official back to hospital

Schapira, a Tempe city councilman, was attending the game as part of the school’s City of Tempe celebration.

The Trojans will have to watch out for Arizona State on the field, and Sparky, the Sun Devils mascot, on the sidelines. His left leg is rendered almost useless because the pain in his back is so excruciating. “I was just posing for a picture”. Not so fun result: David Schapira ended up in the hospital with a torn back muscle. “Even that night I was on a cane”.

His wife kept taking pictures as Schapira used a nearby fence for support.

Next time, Sparky, just shake the guy’s hand.

Little did Sparky know, Schapira was returning from recent back operations and had only lay down his hiking punish to bark that is actually photograph.

Schapira says he’s not upset, just a bit frustrated.

“I sort of sniggered to start with, after that my word changes to trepidation because i undergone that in fact pop”, Schapira instructed Mastening numbers 15. He now anticipates another six weeks of recovery.

“ASU sincerely apologizes for Sparky’s excessive exuberance at Friday night’s game”.

Schapira has taught at ASU and been a state representative and a state senator, all jobs that require patience and the ability to get over yourself.
