By Jake Chung / Staff writerWith the conclusion of the Taipei Summer Universiade on Wednesday, the event’s mascot, Bravo the bear, announced on Facebook that it was out of a job. Bravo thanked its supporters over the past year and asked everyone to give a big “like” to the mascot team. Netizens’ responses poured in soon after, calling on the Taipei City Government to keep the mascot on retainer. Some netizens wrote that Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) early last year said that the city government would not let Bravo disappear after the Games’ conclusion. Bravo will have two choices: retirement or becoming the official city mascot, Chien said.
