NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy has confirmed that the league has asked the US Department of Homeland Security to remove a social-media video that used iconic footage of Philadelphia Eagles legend Brian Dawkins' 'Weapon X' entrance in a post about a purported migrant caravan approaching the US border.
The montage, posted by DHS on X on Sunday, showed Dawkins performing his intense pre-game entrance before cutting to clips of the Hall of Fame safety delivering heavy hits on opponents. The post was captioned: 'Our time has come.'
