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.”

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.

Recently, Wembanyama graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, where he shared insights into his basketball journey. During the interview, he candidly discussed how his perspective on some NBA stars has changed over time.

“I think both in a good and bad way it’s how truly the best in the game are. How in a good way some of them are really impressive and inspiring in the way they approach the game every night,” Wembanyama said.


“But others that I used to like, and now I’m just like, nah. I’m not sure that they deserve you know. They don’t seem like they put as much work as I thought,” he added.
