Eagles fan takes it upon himself to cover up counterfeit Kamala Harris campaign ads in Philly

Election years are always strange, especially over the past decade or so. The Philadelphia Eagles have never been openly political, so when Kamala Harris-Eagles campaign ads started popping up around the city, it didn’t make much sense.

The team took to Twitter to clear the air, stating that the ads are counterfeit and that they’re working to remove them. Could’ve fooled me — they look pretty legit.

We are aware counterfeit political ads are being circulated and are working with our advertising partner to have them removed.

Of course, this Tweet reached 11 million people and counting, by far the most of any recent Eagles Tweet. One scroll through the replies and you’ll see just how ridiculous our political ecosystem has become.

Despite this statement from the team, conservative fans were still pissed. One fan, Joe from South Philly, took it upon himself to cover up the ads with print outs of the Eagles Tweet stating they’re counterfeit.

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

Now, don’t take that header the wrong way. I think we’re fucked either way in this election. Nevertheless, I’d rather not root for a team that’s openly rooting for either side. Of course they have every right to do it if they choose — but it comes off as cringy and honestly, just annoying.

I don’t care who you’re voting for in November. Just win ball games.
