If Michael Strahan was still playing football, he believes that he would join in the take a knee protests.
The former NFL star, 46, talked about the movement on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week. When DeGeneres asked if he would kneel, Strahan replied, “I think I would have. I would have had a conversation with my father… and based on that conversation, and conversations I’ve had with him, I’m pretty sure I would have.”
Strahan and DeGeneres’ conversation was prompted by Nike’s new ad campaign with Colin Kaepernick.
