Accusations arose alleging Strahan\u2064 disrespected the anthem by not placing his hand over\u200d his heart, which some interpreted as a protest. In\u200c an Instagram video, Strahan clarified \u2064that this was unintentional and \u200dnot \u200ca statement against the anthem \u2062or military.<\/p>\n<p>Strahan explained \u2064that he was distracted by the\u200c presence\u2063 of \u200dyoung sailors \u2062standing at \u2063attention, reflecting on their service \u2062before realizing the\u2064 anthem had begun. He \u200cfelt panicked \u200babout whether\u200d to \u2062place \u2063his hand over his heart mid-anthem and ultimately decided against it, which \u2064led to\u2062 misunderstandings about his intentions. \u2063The former NFL player emphasizes \u2063his \u2064love and respect for \u2063the military, having grown up on a\u2062 military base due \u200dto his father&#8217;s service in the Army.<\/p>\n<p>In response \u200dto\u2063 the uproar, \u200cFox Sports has publicly defended Strahan,\u2063 stating they \u2062will\u2062 not impose any penalties on\u200b him. Despite the backlash, Strahan expressed his regret if anyone felt\u200c offended by his actions, affirming his\u2062 pride in the military and those who serve.
