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.”
