If it is that big of a problem, just have the mascot removed or removed from the area. I would not call this disconcertion as the rulebook states because that mostly involves the participants, not a fan, cheerleader or mascot. I do not think you have support though interpretations to actually apply disconcertion to this situation. Of course a Referee can rule on things that are not specifically covered in the rulebook, but that would be a stretch if you ask me.
