The 28-second video, captured before Paraguay faced France in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16, shows the majestic bird released by a handler high in the stands amid green-clad Eagles supporters celebrating the nation's semiquincentennial. Posted by Science Girl and amplified by broadcaster Mario Nawfal, it drew nearly 40,000 likes and 880,000 views, with fans sharing chills of pride and chants of 'Happy Birthday, America.' While some questioned if the non-releasable rescue eagle was truly 'flying free,' experts from the American Eagle Foundation explained the birds are trained through trust and choose to return, upholding a cherished Philadelphia sports tradition.

It ought to thank all fifty stars that it didn't get a bullet.

@MarGarTar You'll get jail time in the U.S. and Canada for even disturbing an eagle. Possession of a feather is a $10k fine in the U.S. That stadium is the safest place that bird can be.

Baseless hatred for society is the mask of self-loathing; the critic criticizes everything while suffering the most in himself.

How many generations of born here until you're considered "native"? :blink:

2 +1 JobyFluorine 2 weeks ago

@Pemakan Jiwa Anyone that was born in the continental United States is a native. Maybe you mean the illiterate savages that can't stay off the fire water?

Your name is Pemakan Jiwa, you're not an American. The only Real Americans are Whites. We founded it, built the cities, won the wars.

@Theocritus and the real native not whites have houses and towns long before the invaders crossed over and trade too and you forget many other groups world wide created houses before you and the natives have been in the usa over 20000 yrs and you lot only just under 500 years from the uk

Even the American Indians first crossed the Bering Strait to get here.

If you want to do your reasoning, this isn't such a person as a true, or real "American".

@JobyFluorine Like the joke about a guy hunting and killing an eagle and getting caught. Game warden asks why, guy says " to eat him" warden asks " have you eaten them before? Guy says yep. Warden asks " what did it taste like? Guy said " a cross between Manatee and sandhill crane"
