A Philadelphia man could be seen pasting official statements from the Philadelphia Eagles that disavowed a series of pro-Kamala Harris ads that popped up across the city on Monday.
Early Labor Day morning, a series of pro-Kamala Harris ads that had been set up on bus stops across Philadelphia went viral on social media. The ads featured a digitally-generated photo of Vice President Harris in an Eagles helmet, complete with team colors and the official Eagles logo, alongside text referring to her as the, “Official Candidate Of The Philadelphia Eagles.”
The murals were complete with a link to PhiladelphiaEagles.com/vote, an official team page that provides resources for fans who wish to register to vote.
Not long after the ads went viral on social media, the Philadelphia Eagles issued a statement referring to them as “counterfeit” and not linked to the team in any way. “We are aware counterfeit political ads are being circulated and are working with our advertising partner to have them removed,” the team announced in an X post.
On Monday night, Fox 29 Philadelphia reporter Steve Keeley encountered a man who was taking matters into his own hands. The man, who identified himself as “Joe,” could be seen pasting several photos of the team’s official statement over one of the counterfeit ads.
Just Now: @eagles fan Joe from South Philly, taking matters into his own hands. He went to Staples to make copies of the Eagles’ statement regarding what the team calls the “counterfeit political ads” on city bus shelters. And pasted them over the unauthorized ad. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/TQG9azwNKU
