No, it's an icon not originating from any sport but often associated with them. Second thought, some make their product a sport.

How's that?

Something to do with the mummers?

How about the local soccer team?

It's probably not Billy Penn's statue on city hall.

Something to do with the Phillies?

Statue of Rocky?

There is also a lightning bolt sculpture to honor Franklin's kite. Looks like a monstrosity to me.

It's Elton John singing Philadelphia Freedom in one of his outrageous costumes.

Philadelphia Marathon.

Something to do with Gatorade.

This thing is dying out. Am I looking like a horse's ass for jumping in?

Here's another piece of the puzzle to help it along.

HAHAHAHA not at all. I just give the answer when nobody responds for days. I think I'm clever for finding something interesting and then nobody looks at it. I just like to post here, fun to try and decipher with little visual information.

Something Budweiser.......
