Democratic nominee Joe Biden's supporters made a last-second pitch to Pennsylvania voters from up above Philadelphia on Tuesday that left NBC Sports Philadelphia asking if it qualifies as the best political ad in the city's history.
The non-profit group Rural America, which is backing Biden, said it was the mastermind behind a plane circling over Philly with a banner stating that President Trump loves the Dallas Cowboys and the franchise's owner Jerry Jones, who donated to Trump's inaugural committee in 2017 and reportedly enjoys a friendly relationship with the president. Philadelphia's NFL team, the Eagles, are bitter division rivals with Dallas, and while the aerial banner represents some light-hearted fun after a heated election season, it's worth keeping in mind that Philadelphia fans take their sports very seriously.
