ettie, the France 2019 mascot, is, canonically, the daughter of celebrated France '98 mascot Footix.
It's disappointing, IMO, that for all of France's republican traditions, World Cup mascots are restricted to a hereditary dynasty of privileged poussins.
Mascotry should be a meritocracy and the highest levels of the field should be open to all anthropomorphised animals, rather than confined to a nepotistic elite.
Shame on the FFF.
