Fireman Ed is getting heat from Jets faithful.
The Jets superfan, whose real name is Ed Anzalone, said it’s evident he’s being phased out of his infamous celebrations on the video boards, and that fans have noticed he’s getting less screen time during home games at MetLife Stadium.
However, many Gang Green fans took to The Post’s comment section to voice a different opinion on the subject.
“Definition of entitlement? Boo hoo I’m not on the big screen at the stadium!” one person wrote.
“Can we trade him to a west coast team?” another added.
Someone else mentioned that Anzalone is “just a fan” and is not an employee of the Jets.
“All of my friends who are Jets fans and myself find him extremely annoying,” they said. “He also denounced the team not too long ago. Fans want to focus on watching football.
“Real jets fans were ripping on him commenting on this video and he turned off the comments. He’s a weirdo with big ego and not a representative of the team or fanbase.”
Anzalone is famous in most Jets circles, and has been since 1986 — when he previously appeared on the video boards at Giants Stadium, the team’s previous home.
It stayed that way until he renounced his fandom during the infamous butt fumble game on Thanksgiving night in 2012.
Anzalone took a hiatus and reprised his Fireman Ed persona in 2015.
Anzalone made an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” last week to react to the news that the Jets fired their head coach Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start to the season.
After the Jets’ loss to the Bills on Monday, Anzalone said in a video on Instagram that it’s evident he’s being phased out of video board celebrations and claimed Gang Green’s production team is behind it.
“I’ve been getting a lot of emails and texts from fans about the Jet experience in the stadium with the big screens,” Anzalone began in the video. “Last night in particular — although on the Denver game [Sept. 29] also — last night in particular [the Jets] scored a touchdown and normally as a tradition we’re always put on the screen.”
Anzalone called it a tradition and a staple at MetLife Stadium when he, along with other longtime superfans, are featured on the video boards.
“I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but they’re phasing us out,” he said. “I’d like to know if somebody knows anything, please let me know, because it’s evident that it’s happening. And it needs to stop because we need home-field advantage. That’s what we have and we need to keep it going. Something is going on, so please let me know if you know something.”
Anzalone, who is known for his trademark Jets fireman hat at home games, leads “J-E-T-S” chant during home games at MetLife Stadium.
“His time has come and gone,” another person wrote in response to his video. “Didn’t he give up on the Jets a few years ago.”
