“I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America.
I’ll stand and place my hand upon my heart
Every time her anthem plays.
When I see somebody on TV
Take their stand on bended knee
whether it’s on Astroturf or grass
I think of those whose freedom was not free
and I say ‘Take a knee … my ass.’
Hubert Neal McGaughey Jr. was born on July 30, 1958, in Jacksonville, Texas, to a Filipina American mother and Irish-American father.

McCoy has been married to Melinda since 1980. The two met when McCoy was working at a shoe store in a local mall. The couple have two children: a son named Swayde, and a daughter named Miki.
