When the White House rescinded the Philadelphia Eagles’ celebratory Super Bowl invite on Monday, that should have been that. The government should have moved on to more pressing issues—like network sitcom cancellations—and the Eagles should have thanked their lucky stars they could now go to Bali instead of the Mid-Atlantic. But ohhhhh no, that’s not the America we live in, folks, and so onward into the widening gyre we plunged, the President taking pot shots at the NFL’s new anthem policy on the way down while Fox News fired up a report on the non-scandal using video footage of Eagles players kneeling in prayer to suggest they protested police brutality and inequality in America by kneeling during the National Anthem (they didn’t).
Eagles players were, of course, categorically pissed about this, eventually eliciting an apology from the network, who dubbed the footage “unrelated” and clarified that the Eagles did not, in fact, kneel during the National Anthem last season. All of which now brings us here, to the stage of this clusterf—ck where you pretty much have to laugh to keep from crying. So in that spirit, we put on our tinfoil hats, grabbed our the trusty fake news detector, and imagined how Fox News might headline a variety of iconic Eagles imagery over the years. NEVER trust the internet, kiddos.
