New Jersey Native Removed from Eagles Game After He Cheered with an American – Israeli Flag in His Box, Philly Eagles Clear the Air

The Eagles were playing against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. And while the former enjoyed a competitive win over the Cowboys by 28-23, another incident from the stands caught the attention of everyone around. It featured a Philadelphia Eagles fan who was reportedly prohibited from attending the team’s last showdown. However, the team has now cleared out the controversy.

The action was taken due to a flag. A video of the incident is going viral on the internet. From the video, it was clear that the Eagles fan wasn’t too happy with the treatment he got during the game.

George Norcross: Physically removed from the game

According to the reports, they allegedly removed New Jersey political personality and power broker George Norcross III from the Eagles’ VIP box during the team’s matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. While the game was still on, Norcross hung a U.S.-Israel flag outside the suite.

Seeing this, a staff member approached him and reportedly requested him to remove the flag. However, Norcross refused to remove the American-Israel flag, and hence, was escorted out of the suite. After the incident, Norcross has reportedly threatened to sue the Eagles, the league, and its security staff.

According to the American businessman, the reason for his actions was due to his inclination toward the flag he had raised. Not only did he put forth his opinion, Norcross also made the comparison of the issue with the Ukraine-Russia war .

However, as the concerns reached the NFL world, especially the Eagles management, they were quick to chime in with their comments. Despite Norcross’ belief that the reason for his removal from the game was due to the flag he was presenting, the team claimed that their motive was different than that.

Philly Eagles clear the air

George Norcross called himself “a longtime passionate fan and season ticket holder,” and said that it remained “unclear why the Eagles/NFL believe that the US-Israeli flag should be deemed ‘obscene or indecent’ or otherwise inappropriate — which is what I was cited for….”

However, declining all these allegations, the Eagles said that Norcross’ removal from the stadium wasn’t because of what his sign said. Instead, they removed him because their policy doesn’t allow modified signs, with messages unrelated to the game, to be hung from a stadium suite. The Philadelphia Eagles also clarified that they bear no ill intent for the politician and such flags are not just prohibited within NFL games, but at a global level.

Now only time will tell whether the businessman and politician Norcross will take action or not. As far as the matchup is concerned, Jalen Hurts‘ and Co continued their winning streak sitting at the top of the NFC East with 8-1 record.
