The Philadelphia Eagles are getting a first-hand look at how political propaganda surrounding Donald Trump works in this country.
Unless you live under a rock, you were a witness to Donald Trump uninviting the Eagles from today’s planned White House visit celebrating the teams Super Bowl victory.
Trump, as only he can, lied, claiming it was because the Eagles had kneeled for the playing of the national anthem; when in fact not one Eagles player took a knee for the anthem last season.
Hoping to hype and sway public opinion about the cancelation of the Eagles’ visit, Fox News showed images of Eagles players kneeling, giving off the allusion that the players were protesting the flag while the anthem played.
Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was not pleased about it.
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
Trump will now hold a “celebration of America ” with 1,000 fans, in an event that’s supposed to celebrate the flag and the military properly.
