Aikman Offers Clarification After Military Flyover Remarks Erupt. Some People Don’t Buy It.

After blowback erupted from the comments NFL announcers Troy Aikman and Joe Buck made about a military flyover prior to Sunday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers/Green Bay Packers game, Aikman responded on Twitter Tuesday night, asserting that he “loves this country, has always respected our flag, supported the men and women in the armed forces as well as those in uniform who serve & protect.”

Aikman wrote: “I love a flyover but It was odd to see one over a mostly empty stadium but I am an unwavering patriot that loves this country, has always respected our flag, supported the men and women in the armed forces as well as those in uniform who serve & protect and for anyone to suggest otherwise doesn’t know me, my beliefs or what I have stood for my entire life.”
