Posters declaring Kamala Harris is ‘official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles’ are ‘counterfeit,’ team says
Philadelphia, PA– The Philadelphia Eagles have refuted claims that Vice President Kamala Harris is the “official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles,” calling the posters declaring this “counterfeit.”
At least six Philadelphia bus shelters displayed these unauthorized posters, featuring a profile image of a person resembling Harris wearing an Eagles helmet and holding a football. The Eagles’ logo was also prominently displayed alongside the name “Kamala” in bold letters, accompanied by the phrase “official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles.”
The posters sparked confusion and debate among residents and Eagles fans, prompting a swift response from the team. In a statement released to the media, the Eagles clarified that they had no affiliation with the posters or their content. “These posters are counterfeit,” a team spokesperson emphasized. “The Philadelphia Eagles do not endorse any political candidate.”
Local authorities are investigating who is responsible for the posters and their placement in city bus shelters. Meanwhile, the incident has ignited conversations on social media, with many users speculating about the motivations behind the campaign and whether it was intended as a prank, political statement, or a form of viral marketing.
The situation highlights the ease with which counterfeit materials can spread in public spaces, raising questions about accountability and the boundaries between humor and misinformation in politically charged times. For now, the Eagles remain focused on their season, reiterating their commitment to being an apolitical organization.
