Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker made a spelling mistake during a speech about the Philadelphia Eagles, and now she may have passed on another magnet.

During the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory parade on Friday, Parker took to the podium to address the team’s assembled fans. But eventually, attendees began booing her and chanting “finish it!” when they felt her speech was going on too long.
Parker’s speech ended up lasting more than five minutes. Most of the other speeches on Friday were brief.
The parade also featured Eagles general manager Howie Roseman being hit in the head with a beer can, causing him to bleed, and a shooting that injured two women.
The mayor’s Eagles-related speeches became a point of criticism in January ahead of the team’s playoff win over the Los Angeles Rams on Jan. 19, when she misspelled the team’s name. In a chant to celebrate the Eagles’ playoff run, the Democratic mayor attempted to spell out the team’s name by spelling out the fan’s signature. Instead, she spelled it “elgses.”

The error prompted mass online mockery.
Parker addressed the mistake at a press conference just days later.
“We don’t promise perfection, I’m happy I never have,” she told The Gathering. “Especially after I couldn’t spell ‘Eagles’ right.”
Reporters in attendance laughed in response.

The misspelled Democratic memorabilia was later turned into a T-shirt by independent Philadelphia sportswear business Philly Goat.

Parker is in her first term after winning the 2023 mayoral election, becoming the first female mayor in the city’s history when she defeated Republican David Oh.
Parker served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 2005-15, and then on the Philadelphia City Council from 2015-22.
