<p>Philadelphia sports fans are the latest demographic that Democrat John Fetterman is trying to court in Pennsylvania&#8217;s hotly-contested Senate race.</p>
<p>Ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; primetime matchup with the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field, Fetterman purchased billboards on I-95, directly across from the Eagles&#8217; home stadium. The billboards will face in both directions, northbound and southbound, and run through Monday, just in time for the game. The ad buy is Fetterman&#8217;s latest attempt to fend off Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in a race that continues to get tighter and tighter.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now that Dr. Oz is running for office, he *acts* like he’s a real Philly sports fan,&#8221; Fetterman wrote on Twitter. &#8220;But we all know he’s really a Cowboys fan 🙄.Our beautiful new billboard at the Linc won&#8217;t let you Iggles fans forget it 🏈.&#8221;</p>

<p>&mdash; John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnFetterman/status/1579824477718081537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 11, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>“Dr. Oz is a Cowboys fan,” the billboard reads. “Elect a real Pennsylvanian. Vote Fetterman for Senate on Nov. 8th.” It also includes a photo of Oz dunking a football over a goalpost at AT&amp;T Stadium, home of the Cowboys. The photo was taken from a <a href="https://twitter.com/DrOz/status/293023437268598785" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2013 tweet</a> from Oz. &#8220;Doing my best to audition for the Cowboys while we have access to their facility during my 15 Minute Physical,&#8221; Oz wrote at the time.</p>
<p>Fetterman&#8217;s campaign manager, Brendan McPhillips, described the billboards to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3682796-fetterman-puts-up-billboards-calling-oz-a-cowboys-fan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a> as another effort to portray Dr. Oz as an out-of-state carpetbagger. “This gets to the heart of who this guy really is,&#8221; McPhillips said. &#8220;He pretends to be a Cowboys fan when he’s in Dallas, but now that he’s running for office he tailgates at Eagles games like he’s a real Philly fan.”</p>
<p>Fetterman is attempting to court Eagles fans, who in addition to being <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1122166-what-makes-philadelphia-eagles-fans-most-notorious-in-all-of-nfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notoriously</a> rabid, have a tendency to mix sports and politics. During their Super Bowl run in 2018, fans berated former adviser to President Donald Trump, <a href="https://twitter.com/KellyannePolls/status/952341465090416640" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kellyanne Conway</a>, when she tweeted in support of the team during the playoffs. After they won, fans mocked Trump with <a href="https://twitter.com/janeslusser/status/1003791569034645504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">side-by-side photos</a> of his inauguration and the Eagles&#8217; Super Bowl parade. Eagles fans also mocked New Jersey Governor <a href="https://www.complex.com/sports/2019/12/philly-fans-heckle-chris-christie-during-cowboys-loss-to-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Christie</a>, a Cowboys fan, when he attended a game in Philadelphia with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.</p>
<p>But Fetterman&#8217;s ad does not tell the whole story. The photo in Oz&#8217;s tweet came from a &#8220;Family Fitness Day&#8221; charity event the Cowboys hosted with Oz, in which he and more than 250 volunteers gave more than <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2013/01/20/hundreds-flock-to-cowboys-stadium-for-free-physicals-from-dr-oz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">800 physicals</a> to people in the Dallas metro area, many of whom were military veterans and their families.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Oz himself has been an Eagles fan since before he ran for office. He posted a picture of himself in Eagles gear at an Eagles <a href="https://twitter.com/DrOz/status/959914536278126592" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Super Bowl party</a> in 2018, posted a <a href="https://twitter.com/DrOz/status/1083889610537750528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> talking about his support for the team to Twitter in 2019, and posted several <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_vuQ8A1LC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photos</a> of him at a game on his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/droz/photos/a.343618204994/10151642166964995/?type=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> pages in 2021.</p>
<p>The race between Fetterman and Oz continues to tighten; the <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2022/senate/pa/pennsylvania_senate_oz_vs_fetterman-7695.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RealClearPolitics</a> average of polls shows that Fetterman maintains a razor-thin 3.7-point lead over Oz. No polls have been conducted in October so far, but one pollster suspects Oz may actually be running ahead of Fetterman, even though pollsters don&#8217;t want to say it yet. &#8220;Nobody wants to be first to put Oz in the lead,&#8221; Big Data Poll director Richard Baris said on his podcast, &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gaTbnTqXTc&amp;t=3978">What Are The Odds?</a>&#8221; on Monday. &#8220;It&#8217;s just safer.&#8221;</p>
