Long challenges NFL to donate Eagles underdog T-shirt sales to charity
The NFL never passes up an opportunity to make a couple extra bones.
Capitalizing on a new trend (and perhaps the only marketable facet of this Super Bowl matchup), the league is selling Philadelphia Eagles underdog mask T-shirts. The Eagles have taken to donning the masks after their two recent playoff victories, games in which they were betting dogs.
Those behind the NFL Shop Twitter account decided to boast about the new apparel to Eagles defensive end Chris Long:
Hey @JOEL9ONE, we think this shirt will go really well with your mask 😉

And if other @Eagles fans want this 🐶 shirt you can get it here https://t.co/pap41Zwlfj pic.twitter.com/E6EyKwPk2K
... but quickly found they were barking up the wrong tree:
Hey @NFL you should donate the proceeds to charity like we did. https://t.co/558hiJ9i4y
