Eagles Fans Rage Against DHS For Exploitative Ad Using Player Footage
Philadelphia Eagles fans have expressed outrage after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) used footage of legendary player Brian Dawkins in a social media post related to immigration issues. The post, seemingly aimed at addressing reports of a migrant caravan heading toward the U.S., featured Dawkins’ iconic highlights, leading many to label the move as offensive. The controversy erupted when DHS tweeted a video clip of Dawkins in action, accompanied by the phrase “our time has come.” This inexplicable merging of sports and immigration enforcement struck a sour note with fans and activists alike, particularly in the lead-up to the Eagles' anticipated Monday night game against the Chicago Bears.
