We’ve all been there at some point, struggling with the spelling of E-A-G-L-E-S during an impromptu Eagles chant. It just wasn’t caught on video.
During a wintry weather preparations news conference in the hours before the Philadelphia Eagles’ snowy playoff win over the Los Angeles Rams, Mayor Cherelle Parker had her moment of messing up the chant.
“Listen, we gotta do this,” the first-term Democrat said while standing outside with city officials after deeming travel to the Jan. 19, 2025, Eagles game “essential.”
“Let me hear you all sing,” Parker — wearing a kelly green beanie and scarf — says before leading the crowd with a chant of “E-L-G-S-E-S, Eagles!” Some people in the crowd can be heard chanting the proper spelling.
“Let’s Go Birds!” she says before stepping away from the podium.
