The Philadelphia Eagles have recently found themselves in the middle of a political controversy surrounding fake posters claiming that Kamala Harris is the official candidate of the team. These posters, which were spotted on transit ads in the city, have raised questions about the Eagles’ political stance.
One user tagged the Eagles on social media, questioning the authenticity of the ads, which garnered over a million views. Google Trends data also shows a spike in searches for “Philadelphia Eagles Harris” online.
The Question
Did the Philadelphia Eagles endorse Kamala Harris?
The Answer
No, the Philadelphia Eagles did not endorse Kamala Harris. The team has clarified that the posters are counterfeit and are in the process of being removed.
What We Found
Both the Philadelphia Eagles and the city of Philadelphia have confirmed that the posters are not legitimate endorsements. The City of Philadelphia is actively removing these unauthorized ads from transit spaces.
Intersection, the advertising company responsible for the transit ads, stated that their shelters were vandalized with fake ads. They emphasized that neither the Eagles nor Intersection had any part in the creation or posting of these unauthorized ads.
Interestingly, the fake posters do contain a link to the official Philadelphia Eagles website, which promotes voter engagement without endorsing any specific candidate. The team is not affiliated with any political endorsements.
