Zach Ertz woke up not too pleased with Fox News Tuesday morning after they used pictures of him praying before a game during a segment covering President Trump’s decision to un-invite the Eagles to the White House in part due to them kneeling.

This can’t be serious…. Praying before games with my teammates, well before the anthem, is being used for your propaganda?! Just sad, I feel like you guys should have to be better than this… https://t.co/kYeyH2zXdK

Fox News likely used the images of Ertz and others praying due to the fact that there was no Eagles player who knelt during the anthem prior during the 2017 season.
The network has since apologized for the misinformation.
