At a Sunday press conference before the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 in an NFL divisional playoff game, Philadelphia Democrat Mayor Cherelle Parker gave her own discombobulated version of the E-A G-L-E S chant, with her spelling provoking utter hilarity.
“Listen we gotta do this,” Parker declared to the crowd. “Let me hear you all say,” she instructed before chanting, “E-L-G-S-E-S, Eagles! Let’s go, birds!”
Philadelphia’s mayor Cherelle Parker led an Eagles chant today, but misspelled Eagles 😅
“E-L-G-S-E-S”

On Tuesday, Parker said, “We don’t promise perfection, I’m so happy that I never have, especially after I couldn’t spell Eagles right.”
Parker was elected mayor in November 2023; Philadelphia’s Democrat registered voters outnumber Republicans by a 7-1 margin. Philadelphia has not had a Republican mayor for 73 years, since 1952.

As Phillymag reported last June, between the 1950s and 2000 Philadelphia had a “five-decade-long population slide” that totaled roughly 600,000 people, then gained roughly 86,000 people in the years between 2000 and 2020. But since 2020 the city has lost more than 53,000 residents.
As Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation has noted:
From 2013 to 2017, Philadelphia averaged 271 homicides per year. But then something happened. From 2018 through 2023, there was an average of 457 per year. Black people represented 83 percent of those victims. The same drastic jump in crime applied to shooting incidents, which increased from a five-year average of 1,047 per year to 1,588 per year. And aggravated assault while armed with a handgun, went from a five-year average of 2,209 per year to 3,116 per year. And retail thefts, which went from a five-year average of 7,412 per year to 9,084 per year. And auto theft skyrocketed from a five-year average of 5,691 to 8,665 per year.
“In 2023, Philadelphia had a total of 1,315 overdose deaths according to data from the Pennsylvania Department of Health. In addition, 79% of the 2023 overdose deaths in Philadelphia included fentanyl,” the United States Drug Enforcement Administration reported.
