Eagles tight end Zach Ertz slammed a Fox News report that showed him - and many of his teammates - kneeling before the game as part of a package about Donald Trump revoking his team's invitation to the White House over NFL players' protesting during the national anthem.

As current and former players pointed out, the team didn't kneel during the anthem last season. And the photos used of players kneeling, Ertz points out? That's of them praying long before the start of the game.

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 — Zach Ertz (@ZERTZ_86) June 5, 2018

"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…" he wrote.

Imagine wanting to please the boss so very badly that you run stills of guys knelt down PRAYING during pregame. Not one Eagles player knelt for the anthem this yr. Keep carrying his water to sow division while misrepresenting Christian men. Aren’t many of your viewers.. nevermind https://t.co/QdlOvL0btq — Chris Long (@JOEL9ONE) June 5, 2018

Here's video of Ertz and his teammates praying before the NFC championship game:

Update:

"During our report about President Trump canceling the Philadelphia Eagles trip to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl win, we showed unrelated footage of players kneeling in prayer," Christopher Wallace, Executive Producer of FOX News @ Night with Shannon Bream said in a statement. "To clarify, no members of the team knelt in protest during the national anthem throughout regular or post-season last year. We apologize for the error."
