Zach Ertz, the star tight end of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, slammed Fox News on Tuesday for using footage of him praying with his teammates to make it look like they were kneeling during the national anthem.

A Fox News segment that aired Tuesday morning used multiple photos of Eagles players kneeling on the football field. However, these players were not kneeling during the national anthem and were actually praying before the start of the game.

1. good for him...fucking faux news

is half the reason why we are in this mess

[Sneederbunk]

2. FOX is sputum.

3. Leave it to Fox to push the propaganda.

But why athletes would pray before a game is a whole 'nother question. Does God, assuming there is one, care about football?

[Ferrets are Cool]

7. Praying they won't die from a fatal aneurysm during one of the

horrific hits from a fellow competitor?

4. Will trump call this Fake News on Fox news

[workinclasszero]

5. Not bloody likely

I'm sure that serious journalist Sean Hannity will be all over this fake fox news today on his hate radio show.

6. Fox recants but Trump still fooled

Clown Trump owes the Eagles a big fat apology.

9. "Error" my ass!

Now that 10 thousand right wing memes have been spread on the internet/Facebook about the Eagles by Fox's Russian bot allies, they say "we apologize for the error"?!

BS!!!

Fox "news" f**king liars, you are not sorry at all! You got your lies out all over right wing media like you intended LIARS!

12. So not one player on the Eagles knelt throughout the year....

And they were uninvited?

[workinclasszero]

13. Yes because all of them were not willing to go to the white house

and get on their knees to worship god emperor Shitler.

Trump loves this NFL BS he admitted it. His racist base eats up this shit like ice cream on a hot summer day.

14. I thought I knew how cynical this was.

It’s worse than I thought. Trump was truly looking to use them as pawns.

15. Fox's problem with images is really simple.

They just take pictures and do not date or time stamp them or label the context or anything. "Hey here is a picture of the Eagles praying". "I knew we had it somewhere"

[randr]

16. It don't get more fake than fox

[Awsi Dooger]

17. I was hoping Ertz' wife would comment

She is a star defender on the United States women's soccer team. But her twitter seems to steer clear of anything political.

[progressoid]

18. "you guys should have been better than this"???

Seriously? Fox? Better than this?

[Warren_Pointe]

19. So the mouthpiece for the religious right

is now on record attacking praying christians. We have passed surreal, now entering insanity.

[workinclasszero]

20. And still the Trump cult worship's their

anti Christ.

Surreal indeed.

[DFW]

21. He should have known by now

Fox has no loyalty, no shame and no news.
