Jay Glazer made sure to defend Michael Strahan from the absurd criticism of the Hall of Famer and fellow Fox NFL Sunday star after the son of an Army major who grew up on a base in Germany didn't put his hand over his heart during the national anthem on Sunday.

"Let me tell you this, I don’t know if I have a friend who is more proud of his military roots than Michael, growing up on an army base constantly talking about what he learned from his dad Major Gene Strahan and how his time there shaped him. I heard it CONSTANTLY, still do!" Glazer wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

He went on to say that people should "ASK him if he's protesting something," and he's right, while also pointing out Strahan's work with veterans.

Glazer really nailed it.
