Michael Strahan's National Anthem controversy

This ignited a wave of criticism online and the news media quickly followed. At least one reporter went to Strahan's house to ask him for comment, and Strahan yelled at the reporter and angrily threw his phone into a bush. Strahan later responded to the criticism in an Instagram post.
“I have nothing to protest, I have no statement to be made…I've always loved the military, and I will always love the military.,” Strahan said on Instagram.
He then stated that he got “caught up in the moment” with the Navy SEALs in attendance and didn't realize that everyone else was placing their hands over their hearts and then chose not to look foolish by placing his hand over his heart in the middle of the song. Fox supported Strahan and chose not to discipline him.
