Michael Strahan has finally had enough of the backlash, as many folks have called for him to be fired over his actions during the National Anthem.

Strahan is finally speaking out following his decision not to place his hand over his heart at the San Diego Naval Base ahead of Veterans Day.

It all began on Sunday during a Fox NFL Sunday broadcast in honor of Veterans Day when thousands of fans witnessed him placing his hands in front of him while his co-stars had hands over their hearts while the National Anthem played.

It caused an uproar on social media.

Newsmax commentator Todd Starnes even tweeted out: “Michael Strahan disrespected the military during a Veterans Day pre-game show on NFL on FOX.”

Strahan finally had enough and took to social media to address what happened while delivering an apology.

“I wanna address what happened this past weekend, and I feel like I need to address it, because it spilled over to the point where I’d get out of my car today, and I’m ambushed by a media outlet here at my house,” the “Good Morning America” co-host began.

Michael Strahan admitted he was “not proud of the way [he] handled that whole situation.”

Strahan then spoke on people thinking that he was protesting.

“I didn’t have my hand over my chest,” he recalled. “Everyone thought, ‘He’s protesting, he’s making a statement,’ which is so far from the truth. I have nothing to protest. I have no statement to be made. The only statement that should be made and that I wanna make is that I love the military. I’ve always loved the military, and I will always love the military.”

 

Furious Michael Strahan Addressed Snatching Phone From Videographer

Michael Strahan threw a reporter’s phone in a bush after being asked about his national anthem controversy.

He was not happy about being confronted.

Strahan could be seen snatching the device when he saw the journalist waiting outside of his New York City home on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, Strahan spoke on the National Anthem controversy, but the Hall of Fame NFL player also addressed snatching a videographer’s phone and tossing it into a bush outside of his home.

“You gotta protect your family, and you gotta protect your home, which is what I felt like I needed to do in that moment,” he said.

In the wake of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s miserable season-opening outing against the Dallas Cowboys, Browns fans speculated if he had a burner account to defend himself.

Internet detectives zoned in on the X account of one Leroy Bickerstaff (@LeroyBickers4), who has posted glowing remarks about Watson despite a disappointing start to the season.

That was then, and this is now.

It appears that fans have found a separate account that is now being linked to Deshaun Watson.

The account, @VPritchs, suddenly began defending the Browns quarterback during halftime of Sunday’s game, and many accused the quarterback of running the page and tweeting from the locker room.

The Cleveland Browns had multiple opportunities in the fourth quarter to rally for a win for the second straight week, but they ultimately fell short.

Deshaun Watson said to blame himself after Cleveland blew an early 10-0 lead and lost 20-16 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

The loss dropped the team to 1-3 on the year.

Deshaun Watson Is Once Again Dealing With More Off The Filed Trouble Amid Rough Season

Deshaun Watson and the Browns lost yet again on Sunday, Falling to the Raiders, 20-16, in Las Vegas.

He finished the game by completing 24 of 32 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

Watson’s woes on the field can also be attributed to what he is dealing with off the field, as another woman is accusing him of sexual assault stemming from an alleged October 2020 incident in a new lawsuit filed earlier this month.

He was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 and fined $5 million by the league amid accusations of sexual misconduct by massage therapists.

Twenty-three of the 24 civil lawsuits filed against Watson were settled in 2022, according to ESPN.

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.

Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.

“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.

“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.

“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”

He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.

“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”

Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.

That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.

The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
