A Philadelphia Eagles win over the Pittsburgh Steelers has meant a Wawa endorsement from U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, writes Nate File for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Sen. Fetterman made good on a bet with Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker Tuesday evening about the outcome of the Eagles-Steelers game Sunday.

When the Eagles took the Steelers 27-13, Fetterman posted a video on X wearing an Eagles hat in front of the U.S. Senate and declared that Wawa is superior to Sheetz.

”Mayor Parker was right, the Eagles are better than the Steelers. And we also discovered now that Wawa is better than Sheetz,” Fetterman said in his video, laughing.

“Go Birds, go Birds,” he said to punctuate his payoff.

Had Pittsburgh won, Parker would have worn a Steelers hat all day, declaring at City Hall that Sheetz was better than Wawa.  

“I have to say, that Eagles green sure looks good on you!” Parker said in a responding video, as she thanked Fetterman for being a good sport.

Fetterman maintains his loyalty to Sheetz, however, and declared in announcing the bet last week that any insinuation he believed Wawa was better than Sheetz was a “filthy lie.”
