The Atlanta Falcons wanted to show off a throwback look this week. Instead, the NFL team found itself at the center of an unexpected social media controversy. The Falcons changed their profile picture on X on Wednesday to an image featuring an old-style black falcon with red, black and other colored stripes behind it, USA TODAY reported.
