NFL team responds to fake ad posters claiming it endorsed Kamala Harris

Pennsylvania promises to be a deciding factor in the 2024 presidential race  — Trafalgar currently has Donald Trump up by 2 — and some pro-Kamala Harris person(s) are pulling out all the stops in an attempt to dupe voters in the state to back the Democratic nominee.

Counterfeit ads were reportedly seen throughout Philadelphia describing Vice President Kamala Harris as the “official candidate” of the hometown Eagles, complete with a photo of her wearing the NFL team’s helmet — chatter on social media suggests the posters are the work of artist Winston Tseng.

The Eagles responded to the ads with a statement shared online: “A photo of a billboard found in Philly of the #Eagles appearing to endorse Kamala Harris is making the rounds on social media. The team has not made any sort of official announcement, and their Voting Resource website listed on it hasn’t been updated since the primary elections.”

The choice of the Eagles is curious, given that the team started the 2023 season red hot, opening to a 10-1 record before dropping five of their last six games and allowing the Dallas Cowboys to win the NFC East division.

“We are aware counterfeit political ads are being circulated and are working with our advertising partner to have them removed,” the team said in a statement.

The city is treating the ads as a vandalism incident, Matt Cassidy, who works with Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems, told CBS News Philadelphia.

“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,” the city said. “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 illegal posters. The City has a process to review all bus shelter ads but this, again, was not a digital ad.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on the social media platform X:
