George Norcross, New Jersey Politician, Removed from Eagles Game over Display of US-Israeli Flag, Considers Lawsuit Against NFL and Team

Eagles argue Norcross was ejected from stadium due to "physically and verbally abusive" behavior towards staff when asked to remove non-game related banner; Norcross deems removal as hypocritical, citing past NFL support for other global causes.

George Norcross, a New Jersey political figure, was removed from a Philadelphia Eagles game after he displayed a combined American/Israeli flag from his luxury box. Norcross has a history of using his influence within the Democratic Party.
The Eagles and the NFL argue that the flag violated their policy against non-game-related banners and that Norcross became physically and verbally abusive when asked by stadium staff to comply.
Norcross asserts that the decision to have him removed because of the flag was hypocritical, given the NFL and Eagles' past support for global causes like Ukraine and civil justice issues.
Norcross displayed the flag to show his support for Israel, citing recent horrific attacks on the country by Palestinian military group, Hamas.
In response to his removal from the stadium, Norcross is considering legal action against the Eagles, the NFL and the security company.
