The 76ers have a new mascot.

Like the team, things aren’t going so well for Franklin right now.

The man who plays Franklin, Darnell Enrique, posted a video on his personal Instagram page that was tweeted onto Franklin’s official account (hat tip: Kyle Scott of Crossing Broad).

A little digging into Enrique revealed he’s a Knicks fan who hates the 76ers and Philadelphia in general:

Yikes.

The 76ers are tanking even with their mascot selection.
