Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez offered one piece of advice to Kamala Harris supporters in Pennsylvania that Donald Trump could not believe
Football has been the most popular sport in the United States since 1972.
123 million people watched Super Bowl LVIII.
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez offered one piece of advice to Kamala Harris supporters in Pennsylvania that Donald Trump could not believe.
Philadelphia is home to passionate football fans
The National Football League (NFL) and college football are the two most popular sports in the United States.
Watching sports is one of the top forms of entertainment for millions of Americans.
But it’s more than just entertainment to a lot of sports fans across the country.
Many sports fans feel a strong emotional connection to their favorite teams.
This is especially true for fans of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.
Eagles fans have been consistently ranked as the most loyal sports fans in the country.
The Eagles enjoy an average attendance rate of 69,439 and its fans have one of the highest online engagement rates in the NFL.
Philadelphia traveled to New York to take on the Giants.
That meant the team’s fans would be in front of a television rooting for their team for the entire length of the game.
And Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told Democrats in Philadelphia to interrupt the game by knocking on people’s doors and asking them to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
“This is correct,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X above a post from a Democrat telling folks that “the only people who know the election outcome right now are shotgunning Yuenglings in a Pittsburgh basement.”
“And the Eagles are on right now so if you knock doors or hop on a text/dialer many of them may be home,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.
“LET’S GET THOSE CONTACT RATES UP,” Ocasio-Cortez concluded.
This is correct.
And the Eagles are on right now so if you knock doors or hop on a text/dialer many of them may be home 🚪☎️🚪☎️🚪

Pennsylvania is one of the top swing states that will determine the outcome of the election.
Ocasio-Cortez is pushing Democrats to make calls and knock on doors to help Kamala win Pennsylvania.
But she doesn’t have enough sense to realize that knocking on the door or calling the phone of an Eagles fan during the middle of the game is a bad idea.
“Eagles fans, and for that matter, all Philadelphia sports fans, have a long reputation for being exceptionally hostile, with plenty of individual instances to show for it,” the Daily Pennsylvanian reported. “The most notorious is arguably the time that they booed Santa Claus, an event which occurred at Penn’s own Franklin Field, where the Eagles played from 1958-1970.”
When taking on the Cowboys in 1989, Eagles fans tossed anything they could get their hands on at Cowboys players and even referees although they won the game.
Eagles fans don’t mess around.
Football is a way of life for them.
Yet these are the fans Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants Democrats to interrupt during the middle of a game for Kamala.
Ocasio-Cortez could end up harming Kamala Harris more than she helps.
