The Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL have endorsed a presidential candidate. They didn’t really do that, of course, but that didn’t stop someone from buying ad space claiming Democrat Kamala Harris is the “Official Candidate Of The Philadelphia Eagles.”
At least four signs at Philadelphia bus stops used the likeness of Harris in an Eagles helmet and jersey with the false endorsement just below.
The Eagles released a statement denying that the animated poster showing Harris in an Eagles helmet was an official advertisement from the team, adding that the organization was working to have them taken down.
“We are aware counterfeit political ads are being circulated and are working with our advertising partner to have them removed,” the statement posted to social media read.

Matt Cassidy, who works with Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems, told CBS News Philadelphia the city is looking at this as a vandalism incident. The city is working closely with the ad company, Intersection, to have the ads taken down by Tuesday since they were illegally posted.
Social media users claim this is the work of artist Winston Tseng.
The city released a statement:
“A number of illegally placed posters of Kamala Harris and the Philadelphia Eagles were placed in bus shelters in Philadelphia. These were not digital ads placed by the Harris campaign, the Philadelphia EAGLES, SEPTA, The City of Philadelphia or the media agency, Intersection, that handles the transit ad space. This was not a digital breach; whomever is responsible for the illegally placed posters, broke into the securely covered shelter ad space and somehow put the posters in the space. Intersection has advised the City’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems (OTIS) that they plan to conduct a full inventory tomorrow of all bus shelters, and remove any illegally posters. The City has a process to review all bus shelter ads but this, again, was not a digital ad.”
Pennsylvania may be the most crucial state to win in the upcoming presidential election. Its 19 electoral college votes are the fifth highest in the nation and the candidates are locked in a heated battle to win those.
