for the way he stood for the national anthem on Sunday afternoon. <\/p>\n<p>During Fox\u2019s special football coverage from Naval Base San Diego, the \u201cStar Spangled Banner\u201d was played, and while the rest of his teammates on television were seen with their hands over their hearts, the ex-Giant held his hands interlocked near his waist. <\/p>\n<p>Some criticized Strahan for this, and he said the coverage has \u201cspilled over\u201d so much that he had to address it on his Instagram. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram

hadn\u2019t placed his hands on his chest.<\/p>\n<p>Strahan was asked for comment by a Daily Mail reporter outside his house, with the \u201cGood Morning America\u201d host grabbing and <a

class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>The ex-defensive lineman admitted he was \u201cnot proud\u201d of the way he handle that interaction, but he felt he needed to \u201cprotect\u201d both his family and his home. <\/p>\n<p>And when it got down to the national anthem and why he didn\u2019t have his hand on his heart, Strahan said he was not making any sort of protest on the Fox broadcast, especially with his father being in the U.S. Army for over two decades. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button
