Michael Strahan, whose father is a retired Major who served in the 82nd Airborne, refused to place his hand on his heart at a Fox Sports salute to Veterans aired Sunday.
Fox does this every year on the Sunday before Veteran’s Day, and this year, the salute took place on a Navy ship manned with active-duty sailors. As the national anthem played, sailors saluted, and civilians faced the flag with their hands over their hearts as prescribed, except for Strahan. He stood with his hands clasped, looking rather angry.
WOW! @MichaelStrahan refuses to honor the flag during the national anthem on a Navy ship while everyone else shows respect. Disgraceful. If he can’t stand with our country, he doesn’t deserve our respect. @NFLonFOX https://t.co/4776adTRdQ
