For two years now the Sixers have been cheered on by a mascot that does not support them. Franklin the dog is not a real Philly fan and has at one point talked negatively about the Sixers and Philadelphia in general. Franklin has caused much harm to many fans and destroys the game day experience for many. This cannot stand and Franklin the Dog must be fired.
