Did the Philadelphia Eagles endorse Harris for president? – Washington Examiner
It was a beautiful Labor Day in the Philadelphia area Monday afternoon. The sun was shining, and the temperature was warm enough to enjoy but not so hot that the heat was unbearable. As I have done many times before, I took my dog Kitt for a walk on my old college campus at the University of Pennsylvania. It was then that I observed something odd and peculiar and unquestionably something I had never seen before: a poster that appeared to be from the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
At a bus stop on 34th Street, in Philadelphia’s University City section, a giant poster, between 5 and 6 feet tall, was enclosed in a case at a bus stand for the city’s public transportation company. It featured a cartoonish graphic resembling Vice President Kamala Harris, who wore an Eagles helmet, held a football, and had on a black top. Then there was the Eagles logo above the word “Kamala,” which was above text that said “official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles.”

I can’t imagine this was authorized by @Eagles. However the fact that it is in an enclosed case at a @SEPTA bus stop raises all kinds of flags and eyebrows.#NFL #PhiladelphiaEagles… pic.twitter.com/BeT5Ro4zcN

Apparently, this image was not the only one in the city. Social media featured numerous posts of the graphic being reported in locations throughout Philadelphia’s Center City area. The posters’ existence caused quite a frenzy throughout the city, with many people angry the team would support a candidate like Harris. It also left people wondering if the poster is as authentic and legitimate as it looked and why the Eagles would endorse a presidential candidate when the organization has never done so.
In search of answers to these questions, I contacted the Philadelphia Eagles media relations officials. The team directed me to a statement it had posted on its social media accounts.
We are aware counterfeit political ads are being circulated and are working with our advertising partner to have them removed.

“We are aware counterfeit political ads are being circulated and are working with our advertising partner to have them removed,” the release said.
So, the first question was answered: The Philadelphia Eagles did not endorse Harris for president with political posters placed around the city. But if the Eagles didn’t do this, how could it happen? This wasn’t just some flier posted around the city on telephone polls. It was enclosed in a locked display case at a bus stand about 6.5 feet tall.
I asked the Eagles this very question on Monday, but the team declined to comment. Instead, a media relations representative once again directed me to the team’s statement on social media as its only comment on the incident.
Still searching for an answer, I contacted the media relations department at the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, Philadelphia’s public transportation company. It informed me that SEPTA doesn’t own the bus stands and is not responsible for the advertisements placed there. That responsibility belonged to the city of Philadelphia.
“SEPTA does not own the bus shelters, so we don’t handle those ad spaces,” a representative said. “The shelters are owned by the city.”

Attempts to contact the city of Philadelphia’s media inquiry department late Monday afternoon have been unsuccessful. This story will be updated accordingly.
However, if true, this would seem to be an egregious violation of ethics. Philadelphia would have been responsible for publishing this deceptive image without permission from the Philadelphia Eagles. Furthermore, if the city approved it, it would also seem that this image was used as political propaganda to misrepresent the Philadelphia Eagles and try to interfere with people’s thinking about how to vote in the election.

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – Operation “Epic Fury” — the weekend military operations carried out by the U.S. and Israel against targets in Iran — tops the agenda for Congress as lawmakers return to Washington.
Sunday, President Donald Trump said the new leadership in Iran wants to talk to the Trump Administration.
Democrats in both chambers called for Congress to return as soon as possible for classified briefings on Iran, followed by a move to vote on the War Powers Act. The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war on another country.
Congress’ return to Washington was originally delayed due to the start of the 2026 midterm elections cycle.
Tuesday, voters in Arkansas, North Carolina and Texas head to the polls for primary elections.
North Carolina and Texas are drawing significant attention, as both states are facing congressional redistricting and competitive primary races for Senate seats.
In Texas, incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R) is facing primary challenges from state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt. On the Democratic side, Rep. Jasmine Crockett is facing state Rep. James Talarico.
In North Carolina, candidates are vying to replacing retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R) . They include former Governor Roy Cooper (D) and former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley.
Also this week, the Rev. Jesse Jackson is laid to rest. He will be honored Wednesday in Washington before a final memorial service Saturday. Jackson died Feb. 17.
