The National Football League (NFL) has requested that US Homeland Security remove a video featuring former Philadelphia Eagles star Brian Dawkins. The agency reportedly utilized footage of the Hall of Fame player in a video demonstrating preparedness for border protection measures. The NFL has not publicly specified why it objected to the use of Dawkins’ image in this context, but it signals concern over the association with the agency’s work at the US border. Representatives for the league stated the use was unauthorized. The video’s purpose was to showcase the agency's technological capabilities related to surveillance and security. The incident raises questions about the use of public figures’ likenesses in government promotional material without consent. US Homeland Security has not yet commented on the NFL's request.
