New York Giants legend Michael Strahan has probably lost himself some fans after what could be considered a controversial gesture and a proverbial slap to the face of his former team.
The Hall of Famer made some huge defensive plays against the Philadelphia Eagles back in his day. But he seemed to switch sides for a moment while spending some time with running back Saquon Barkley.
Strahan and Barkley were on a boat ahead of Super Bowl 59 when he decided to show some respect for the former Giants star by waving the Eagles flag.
“We gon’ fly Eagles fly for Saquon Barkley because I respect and love this man so much,” he said.

Michael Strahan Had Giants Fans Heated
Giants fans did not appreciate Strahan’s gesture at all.
“Idc how you feel about the current state of the Giants, this ain’t it. Stay on that side when we’re back on top. It’s coming,” a fan declared.
“Unforgivable,” another added.
“Yeah, that’s disgraceful. #gogiants,” said another.
“BLASPHEMER,” someone spat.
The former pass rusher is likely very happy for Saquon right now, given that he’s since become a Super Bowl champion as he helped the Eagles topple the Chiefs in the big game on Sunday night.
We doubt there’s anyone in New York who feels the same way.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
