NFL fans are ripping on the Philadelphia Eagles after seeing a political endorsement for Kamala Harris in the 2024 United States presidential election.
On Monday, photos circulated of Philadelphia Eagles-themed Kamala Harris political cartoons. The bottom of the ad read, “OFFICIAL CANDIDATE OF THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES” with a link for voting on the team’s official website.
The Eagles later stated on X/Twitter that the political advertisements are “counterfeit” and were working with the team’s advertising partner to take them down. But this announcement came well after fans started taking aim at the NFC East club, having fallen for the bogus ads:
I’m going to need to know what this is…I can’t believe the @eagles would directly endorse any candidate. That would be incredibly stupid from a management team that specializes in being smart.

F*** the Birds if this is real.

That’s it. That seals the deal. I’m no longer an Eagles fan. I’ve been a fan since 2001 and I will no longer watch on TV or spend any more money on anything related to the team. I’m taking my talents elsewhere. It’s been real ✌️
