There was a claim circulating on social media that the Philadelphia Eagles endorsed Kamala Harris for president, based on posters of her wearing the team’s helmet. However, the Eagles have stated that they did not endorse Harris or any candidate, and were not behind the posters. The team was working to have the counterfeit political ads removed. The Harris campaign also confirmed they were not involved with the posters. It is still unclear who is responsible for the placement of the posters, as both the City of Philadelphia and the advertising agency managing the bus shelters denied involvement. The agency considered the incident as vandalism and theft, as it disrupted their revenue-generating advertising space. The Eagles spokesperson reiterated that they were not behind the endorsement of Harris, and there were no updates on the situation. The original Instagram post suggesting the endorsement received over 400 likes in three days, but the claim was found to be false. The Philadelphia Eagles have not endorsed Kamala Harris or any other presidential candidate.
