NFL & Eagles’ Brian Dawkins Demand Trump Admin Take Down Video
The Hall of Famer and the league are calling out the Department of Homeland Security for using unauthorized Eagles footage.
Former Philadelphia Eagles safety Brian Dawkins and the NFL are objecting to President Donald Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for sharing unauthorized footage of him on social media. The DHS posted a video on X, displaying archival footage of Dawkins’ playing days with cuts of collisions and him chanting "Our time has come."
The video was set to the Korn song, "Blind." Both the NFL and Dawkins have demanded the removal of the video. An NFL spokesperson stated that the league has formally requested the DHS to take down the video. Dawkins himself addressed the situation in a video shared on his social accounts, emphasizing that he did not give permission for his name, image, and likeness to be used by anyone.
Despite the league and Dawkins' demands, the post remains on the DHS accounts. A DHS spokesperson defended the agency's action, stating that they will use every "Weapon at our disposal" to keep Americans safe. The phrase "Weapon X" is a play on Dawkins' famous nickname during his career. While no other NFL players have released direct statements about the video, many of Dawkins' followers have shown their support in the comments. Political influencers and content creators on X have also shared their opinions on the matter.
