Antifra to have strong presence at Sixers games as Hip Hop makes his return in bid to oust Franklin as team mascot

Sources tell The Liberty Line that little known basketball mascot extremist group Antifra will have a heavy presence at Sixers games this season, specifically those featuring the newly revived Hip Hop. What many see as a heartwarming tribute to a more successful era now serves as a rallying cry for Antifra members, who would like nothing more than to see the current mascot, Franklin, removed from power for good.

Antifra – short for Anti-Franklin – are militant in their belief that Franklin should be deposed as Sixers mascot in favor of Hip Hop:

The Antifra movement has long existed underground, hidden away from the watchful eye of the NBA Deep State and mainstream media. While Franklin has been running around 76ers games without a care in the world, countless Telegram channels have been plotting his downfall.

And now, Antifra has been emboldened by the Sixers’ decision to reinstate Hip Hop, the people’s mascot. To them, it’s a sign that Franklin has lost his iron grip on the organization, and conditions are ripe for regime change.

While Hip Hop will only be featured at a select number of games this season, Antifra is expected to come out in droves for all home games. Based on conversations I’ve had with senior leadership (who have requested to remain anonymous), the consensus is that this is an opportunity the group simply cannot let slip away.

Something important to keep in mind is that, while Antifra is a militant group, they don’t exist anywhere on the political spectrum. One member boiled in down succintly, saying, “We don’t care who the president is. We don’t care about foreign wars or health care. All we care about it who’s on the Sixers sidelines. That is our sole focus.”

Whether this is good or bad for Sixers fans and Philadelphia as a whole remains to be seen. You might think that taking up arms in support of a retired mascot is odd, maybe even downright silly, but Antifra is nothing to scoff at.

Sources at the Justice Department say that this administration is keeping a watchful eye on Antifra’s actions in Philadelphia. However, that comes with certain challenges.

“I mean, they’re just stoked on a mascot, there’s nothing really illegal about what they’re doing,” said one DOJ official. “If things escalate, we’ll get boots on the ground. But I don’t know if we’re prepared for this. We’ve never seen anything like this before.”

In the end, we here at The Liberty Line have just one message for fans in these turbulent times: Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay vigilant. And God bless America.
