Tennessee Titans fans have turned on Julius Chestnut after the running back arrived in costume for the second straight game.
Chestnut arrived dressed as Black Panther in Week 1, only for the Titans to suffer a humiliating home loss against the New York Jets.
But that did not deter the backup running back, who was filmed walking into Nissan Stadium wearing a Green Goblin costume from the Spider-Man Series for the Week 2 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
It did not land well with fans of his team, however, who accused the 25-year-old of being 'tone deaf' and failing to read the room with the franchise struggling.
And numerous fans even went as far as to demand he is CUT from the team as punishment for his latest stunt.
One fan wrote: 'Hey @JuliusChestnut you like to clown? You tone deaf? You don't even have the concept of appropriate. Get the f*** off this team and out this city.'

Chestnut was slammed by fans who accused his entrance of being 'tone deaf' at 0-1
'I imagine he's also terrible at reading the vibe in the room,' another wrote. 'Tone deaf.'
One user suggested: 'Maybe start winning some games before doing this nonsense' and another demanded: 'Cut his ass. I don't need my benchwarmers being this comfortable.'
Another Titans account shared the post saying: 'I want this dude off my team yesterday. What a clown.'
'Corny behavior from a team that hasn't been good in a while,' read one reply, as someone pointed out: 'If only they put that much energy into things on the field....'.
Another commented: 'Would say they're just tone deaf but at this point it's obvious they just plain don't care. That reflects on the field pretty well.'
A further post added: 'team is 0-1 & got embarrassed by the Jets. this should get you cut. clearly dont take your job seriously.'
After losing to the Jets in Week 1, head coach Robert Saleh insisted his team was 'excited' after 'turning the page' and moving on to trying to cause an upset against the Eagles.
'You're always excited to get back on,' Saleh said. 'You know, I think Wednesday is always a great day because it represents the turning of the page.
'You know, on Monday we went through and had a really good meeting with the group. Tuesday, you're game planning, and today's about turning the page, moving forward, and getting ready for the opponent.'
