For what it is worth, we know the NFL is a scorpion.

Some fans are calling on FOX Sports to fire Michael Strahan after he stood for the national anthem during Veterans Day weekend without placing his hand over his heart.
Photos showed that all of Strahan’s colleagues — Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, and Rob Gronkowski among them — stood with their hands over their hearts.
However, Strahan can be seen standing, the odd man out with hands at his waistline in FOX Sports X post:
The Daily Mail noted viewers took to X immediately, criticizing Strahan’s actions, with one fan suggesting Strahan’s actions were “disrespectful to all Veterans and Americans.”
Another X user wrote, “Fire Michael Strahan! This is unacceptable!”

Is this really what we’re going to be outraged over today?
Forget it, he’s ghetto.
At least he stood.
Doesn’t he do a daytime show that’s something like “The View”? Guess he didn’t want to offend those viewers.
When the MFL has its fans singing their “black national anthem” during their “Super Bowl” fiasco, non-blacks should stand there pushing their Michael Jackson “push to talk switch” in their crotch.
Must be some BLM /anti Trump winning garbage. These idiots will never learn. You are now obsolete woke d bags. The gig is up. This is why Trump won and we will continue to win because of horseshit like this
He’s not ghetto, he comes from a military family.
A dumb prick
“Some fans”.
Who cares. This is just red meat clickbait.
He was standing. He was respectful.
He probably has his reasons. You might not like them, but he wasn’t being angry and dancing around like a fool.
If we are going to start “canceling” people because they “express themselves” in a respectful and non-disruptive way…we are no better than the cancel culture fools.
Endless wars must be over and the border secured if this is what we’re worried about.
Yes, but he stood for it. Let’s not overreact here.
He’s acting ghetto.
Well he knew he couldn’t get away with taking a knee, so...
For what it is worth, we know the NFL is a scorpion.
Another black man who may well hate America. You cannot fire all of them. Not my concern. If he was kneeling, that would be different.
Squirrel!
$3,000 suit and all. Dirty pier. Can't have that.
It’s important for men and women to know the rules established under US Code 301 in the United States Flag Code for showing respect in conduct when it is performed.
Proper Anthem Protocol Order for Civilians
Stand
Face the Flag
Remove Your Hat
Place Right Hand Over Your Heart
*Stand
Before the National Anthem begins, crowds will usually be asked to stand. Why stand? It is a sign of appreciation for our nation and its core values. Is standing for the National Anthem a law? No, it is not mandatory. But Americans owe a great debt to those who have paid the ultimate price to win and protect our freedom, which is why it’s important to follow proper etiquette and stand for the Anthem. The entire Anthem should only last for a couple of minutes, so standing isn’t going to leave you “winded.”
*Face the Flag
Many people assume that they should face the person who is singing the National Anthem, but this isn’t necessarily true. If there’s an American Flag being displayed — and there usually is — you should face it instead. If there is not a flag of the United States on display, you should face the person whom is singing the National Anthem, giving them your full attention.
If you are wearing a hat, you should remove it for the duration of the National Anthem (unless it’s being worn for religious purposes). This tradition goes back more than a century, a time when wearing a hat indoors was considered rude.
*Place Right Hand Over Your Heart
Next, place your right hand over your heart. Assuming you are wearing a hat, remove it with your right hand and place it over your heart.
Military service men and women should perform the military salute at the beginning of the National Anthem, holding this posture until the end.
