Viewers Want Host Michael Strahan ‘Fired’ Over Disrespectful Veterans Day Pre-Game Show
Many people are familiar with Michael Strahan because of his job as a host. He is always out there giving us the news about sports, but the 52-year-old recently found himself in some hot water.
He was hosting the Fox NFL Sunday and was out with his crew at the San Diego Naval base. They were there to honor Veterans Day on November 10, 2024.
The problem is, Michael made a decision during the playing of the national anthem and he stood with his arms folded in front of him. As a result, people are calling him disrespectful and are even looking for him to be fired.
It all happened at the naval base in San Diego, where the US Armed Forces was being honored that day. It happens every year as a part of the Veterans Day weekend, where we pay tribute to the sacrifices of the men and women in our country.
As the group of men stood for the national anthem, many of them had their hands over their hearts but Stratum stood respectfully with his hands folded in front of him. That is where the controversy came in.

Many people were tagging the post with a lot of negative comments, calling him disrespectful and saying he should be ashamed.
One of the commenters actually suggested that they fire the host, and ask him why he didn’t place his right hand over his heart during the playing of the national anthem.
They also claim to already know why he didn’t do it.
