The Ghost of the B (Spanish: Fantasma de la B) is a joke mainly used by sports fans in Latin America to fans of rival club in danger of descending into "B" Division.[1][2][3][4][5]

The popularity of the character led to the inclusion of the mascot in a TV spot of Claudio Lozano for the 2013 elections in Argentina, this time as a joke for the candidate Daniel Filmus.[6]
