FOX reporter Jay Glazer has spoken out on the situation involving colleague Michael Strahan at the network.
The former NFL Pro Bowler is under fire for being “disrespectful,” with fans calling for him to be fired after he was seen with his hands in front of him during the national anthem.
Strahan and the rest of the FOX NFL pregame show crew visited a naval base in San Diego ahead of Veterans Day. He was seen with his hands down while his coworkers all had their right hands on their hearts while “The Star-Spangled Banner” played.
While it was not a great look for Strahan, Glazer has come to his defense, pointing to the former’s deep respect for the military and his contributions to veterans while also noting how his dad’s role as a Major and his living on an Army base helped shape Michael into the man he is.
“Let me tell you this, I don’t know if I have a friend who is more proud of his military roots than Michael, growing up on an army base constantly talking about what he learned from his dad Major Gene Strahan and how his time there shaped him. I heard it CONSTANTLY, still do!” he wrote in a lengthy tweet.
“But also, with no fanfare i personally saw him donate thousands of dollars of clothes to veterans, including many homeless veterans as well clothes for veterans to go on job interviews.”
FOX Has Made A Decision On Michael Strahan
FOX has reportedly decided not to punish Michael Strahan over what they reckon was an honest mistake.
The Daily Mail cites a source noting the above.
“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,” they were quoted as telling the outlet.
“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.”
Strahan seemingly responded to the backlash by posting a photo of his father in military uniform to Instagram while paying tribute to veterans for their service.
Suspicious NFL Fans Are Accusing Deshaun Watson Of Using A Burner Account From The Locker Room At Halftime To Defend Himself During Browns’ Loss To Raiders

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 Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

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.
