Democratic power broker and New Jersey businessman George Norcross appeared to be removed from Sunday’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys after displaying an American-Israeli flag, videos on social media showed.

Norcross, 67, was in a private suite at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday afternoon when he was seemingly approached by stadium security because of the flag hanging over the edge of the suite.

The interaction appeared tense before Norcross was ushered from his seat and the flag removed.

The political powerhouse confirmed in a statement to the New Jersey Globe that he was "forcibly removed" and is considering legal options.

I used to live where he owned a lot of businesses...he is an arrogant SOB. BTW, this has nothing to do with the Israeli flag-—it simply is a policy of the Eagles-—no flags, political banners, etc -— during games at the stadium.

I agree with his sentiment, in supporting Israel, but he had to know the rules for everyone. If he can display his personal sign, it’s only a matter of time before the pro-Palestinians display their signs too. People come to these games primarily to forget about the big problems of the day, not to get caught up in another face off.

While I may agree with his sentiments, he doesn’t get to break the rules just because he’s wealthy..............

The Eagles would have no problem with a BLM or a disgusting pride flag.

Old Glory and an Israeli flag, crossed. I have one in lapel pin form.

Stadium policy, according to the website, prohibits "obscene or indecent" banners and signs and states that they may not contain "political endorsements." "Signs, banners or similar items that are obscene or indecent, not event-related, potentially offensive to other patrons, capable of blocking the views of other fans or otherwise deemed dangerous or inappropriate by the Eagles are prohibited. They may not contain commercial messages, logos or political endorsements and may not be hung on the stadium structure."
