The Philadelphia Eagles are working to remove a series of counterfeit political ads that have cropped up around Philadelphia, purporting to be an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.
"We are aware counterfeit political ads are being circulated and are working with our advertising partner to have them removed," the team said Monday in a statement posted to its social media platforms.
Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee in the Nov. 5 general election, is facing Republican nominee and 45th president, Donald Trump.
According to images posted Monday on social media, at least one counterfeit ad was placed at a bus stop in Philadelphia. The advertisement depicts a caricature of Harris in side profile, wearing an Eagles football helmet and clutching a football. The ad also features the Eagles logo above "Kamala" in bold, white letters. Below that, the ad features the text: "Official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles."
At the bottom of the ad, there is a link to an actual link that goes to the official website of the Philadelphia Eagles that encourages voter registration, PhiladelphiaEagles.com/vote.
All things Eagles: Latest Philadelphia Eagles news, schedule, roster, stats, injury updates and more.
The website does not mention any candidate by name, nor does it mention any political party or cause. Rather, it lists resources and information to help fans in Pennsylvania find polling stations, request ballots, register to vote and participate in elections.
Based on the bus stop ID number that is visible in the image, at least one ad is located in West Philadelphia, on Walnut and 34th Streets, in the heart of the University of Pennsylvania.
In 2020, the NFL and NFL Players Association jointly launched the NFL Votes initiative. The program is a league-wide, non-partisan effort "that supports and encourages civic engagement among NFL players, and legends, club and league personnel, and fans."
