Viewers left stunned as young Eagles fans are encouraged to pummel punchbags dressed as Cowboys stars
A group of Philadelphia Eagles-supporting school kids got into fight mode ahead of their battle with the Dallas Cowboys this weekend by attacking punchbags dressed up as their bitter rivals.
Two days out from the team’s trip to AT&T Stadium, young Eagles fans at an elementary school in Camden, New Jersey, were encouraged to pummel giant bags containing photos of different Cowboys players during a live segment for Philadelphia news station FOX29.
Some of them even punched the pictures clean off and stamped on them to really hit home how much they dislike their opponents on Sunday.
FOX29 reporter Alex Holley shared footage of the segment on X, with viewers left astonished at the sight of the school kids unleashing their anger on the Cowboys.
One posted: ‘Wow. Start em young!!!’
‘They gonna sleep good tonight,’ said another.

‘That last punch was personal,’ wrote a fourth.
While another Philly supporter put: ‘This is the kind of stuff that makes us lose. Looks fun though.’
