Fox Sports aired ‘emergency alert’ URL that took viewers to ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ website

Apparently, the crew over at Fox NFL Sunday are big fans of the Philadelphia Eagles.

The news outlet aired a short segment, with the purpose of warning NFL fans that the Philly team should be seen as a big threat on the field this year.

While doing so, however, the Fox Sports team produced a segment that satirized the Emergency Alert System(which might prove to cause legal problems as it appears to have violated FCC regulations).

Also featured in the fake emergency alert was the URL of the site “FoxNFLEmergencyAlert.com.” And while it seems as though the URL initially never led to anything, the folks at Fox News must have overlooked the fact that some people will go to great lengths for a few laughs.

It appears someone quickly registered the address. Now, when you enter the address, the URL redirects you to the homepage that features a huge “Let’s Go Brandon!” banner and photos of former President Donald Trump alongside Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO). The eagle-eyed viewer certainly made their point and beliefs known.

Obviously, the slogan signals a very pro-Trump attitude, so it was only to be expected that the other images on the site would be a dig at President Joe Biden. On the site, there’s also a photoshopped image of President Joe Biden looking rather down, as a painting of George Washington flips him off.

We’re definitely living in an alternate universe.
