It appears the Michael Strahan drama won’t be going away anytime soon.

The former NFL star has been under fire since Sunday after what was considered to be an improper pose during the national anthem during FOX’s pregame show.

Strahan, a four-time first-team All-Pro, was shown with his hands in front of him while “The Star-Spangled Banner” was being played, with the FOX crew having visited a naval base in San Diego ahead of Veteran’s Day.

There have been calls for FOX to fire him after his “disrespectful” actions.

Michael Strahan Channels Inner Jason Kelce

The network isn’t going to punish Strahan over Sunday’s controversy, but he might be in hot water over something that happened on Tuesday.

Strahan was approached by a Daily Mail reporter while trying to enter his house after returning from ‘Good Morning America.’ You can hear him telling the journo, “Don’t come to my house.”

He then grabs his cell phone.

Check it out in the clip below:

Strahan is said to have tossed the phone into a nearby bush before entering his townhouse with his girlfriend, Kayla Quick.

This incident takes place after former Eagles star Jason Kelce was seen grabbing and smashing a Penn State fan’s phone before a game two weekends ago.

REPORT: FOX Makes Decision On What’s Going To Happen To Michael Strahan Following His Controversial Actions During The National Anthem

Former NFL star Michael Strahan drew the ire of fans on social media after his ill-advised actions during the national anthem on Sunday.

The four-time First-Team All-Pro is being slammed for keeping his hands in front of him while “The Star-Spangled Banner” played as FOX broadcast its pregame show from the San Diego Naval Base before Veteran’s Day.

Strahan’s colleagues placed their right hands on their hearts, but the former New York Giants star kept his down, prompting some serious backlash, with viewers and fans urging the network to fire him.


According to the Daily Mail, however, FOX will not punish Strahan over what they believe was “an honest mistake.”

“His peers have his back and understand that he wasn’t making the moment about himself. There isn’t going to be any type of punishment or fine going Michael’s way,” a source told the outlet this week.

 

“He may address it, but he is weighing his options because he never thought this would have ever been a thing. He knows the man he is, and he almost doesn’t want to address the controversy to give it more life.”

Michael Strahan May Have Already Addressed The Backlash

Strahan did seemingly address the controversy on Monday, taking to Instagram to post a photo of his father, Major Gene W. Strahan, in uniform as he paid tribute to U.S. veterans.

“Thank you to all veterans and active service members who courageously risk their lives to protect us every day,” he wrote. “Your selfless service is beyond measure. Just as I honor my father, I keep all of you in my thoughts each and every day as we would not have the safety and freedoms we cherish without you. Thank You.”

In addition to his role at FOX, Strahan co-hosts ‘Good Morning America.’ He was not seen on Monday’s show.
