However, Boyer didn\u2019t feel the same way. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of ridiculous, to be completely honest,\u201d said Boyer during an interview with TMZ.<\/p>\n<p>Boyer added, \u201cFirst of all, Mike has a deep, deep respect for the military. He\u2019s done a lot of work in the veteran nonprofit space. He\u2019s a military brat. You know, he grew up around this. This is part of his life.\u201d Strahan\u2019s dad was a member of the Military, as Boyer referenced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gesture itself, he\u2019s standing there with his hands crossed, not disrespectfully in any way,\u201d he said before continuing, \u201cI just don\u2019t understand. I don\u2019t understand that. It feels like people are just reaching, and they\u2019re just picking at something, but it\u2019s like, I mean, I\u2019m offended by hearing that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>W<\/p>\n<div id=\"incontent-ad-3\" class=\"pw-incontent\" data-label=\"Advertisement\"><\/div>\n<p>There are no reported plans to discipline Strahan at FOX, and he\u2019s even been defended by co-analyst Jay Glazer. Many fans seem to be overreacting to Strahan\u2019s move, and it\u2019s entirely possible that he did not do it intentionally.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Michael Strahan was dominant when he played in the\u00a0NFL\u00a0with the\u00a0New York Giants.
