Philadelphia Eagles remove fake Kamala Harris endorsing ads
In a recent development, the Philadelphia Eagles are actively working to address a misleading advertising campaign. The ads falsely claim the team has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency. Several counterfeit posters feature Harris in Eagles gear with the caption, “Kamala official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles.” It also includes a link to a page that misrepresents the team’s official website.

These unauthorized ads, spotted at intersections such as 16th and Spring Garden, 18th Street and JFK Boulevard, and 34th and Walnut, depict Harris holding a football in Eagles attire. Despite the professional appearance of these posters, the Eagles have clarified that they did not authorize or support this political messaging.
The team has been working to remove these ads, labeling them as “counterfeit political ads.” Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems and Intersection Media, the company managing the ad spaces, are collaborating to take down the ads. The city has classified the incident as vandalism, with the unauthorized ads reportedly being installed illegally.
Intersection Media has issued a statement acknowledging the breach and is in the process of removing the fake ads. They emphasized that neither the Eagles nor Intersection Media authorized the ads and are working to prevent further incidents.
Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems is also involved. They are conducting a review of all bus shelters to ensure no additional unauthorized content remains. The campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris has not yet commented on the situation.
