Lifelong Eagles fan takes action to cover up ‘counterfeit political ads’ endorsing Kamala Harris

A Philadelphia Eagles fan spoke to FOX 29 after he covered up a fake political ad that falsely stated the team’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

One Philadelphia Eagles fan isn’t too pleased with the "counterfeit" political ads endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris that went viral on social media Monday. 

The man, identified by FOX 29 as Joe from South Philly, took it upon himself to cover up the cartoon ad at one bus shelter that depicted Harris in an Eagles helmet with a caption that read, "Kamala, official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles."

"My concern here is not that someone is expressing an opinion, which everyone is entitled to do, but this person is lying to everyone that comes and uses this stop. That’s what I’m very concerned about — the fact that they’re spreading lies that the Philadelphia Eagles endorsed Kamala Harris as a candidate for president in the United States," Joe continued.  

"We all know that Philadelphia’s the battleground for Pennsylvania, and these types of lies are things that prevent honesty in the election process."

The poster went viral on social media, prompting the Eagles to release a statement clarifying that the ads were not an official endorsement from the organization.
