    NFL players are dumb. Can't wait to see the eventual downfall of the NFL.

    Concisely, a stance against the institutional systems; focused mostly on the criminal justice system at large, and how it disproportionately affects minorities

    At least the World Series is great and free from politics.

    I know how McNair can make up for this: check himself into prison for a week.

    That'd make him think twice about comparing NFL players to inmates.

    Well said.

    No one can be offended by his comments cause it's "Big Bob" with a black God-father for his children.

    Um, you do realize half the team decided to leave practice due to the statement right?

    I guess they were using bullet points to prove their narrative as well... even though NONE of our Texans has taken a knee during the national anthem whatsoever.

    Your old rhetoric is outdated, go somewhere else with that BS.

    That was a very unfortunate thing to say.

    And they are being sensitive as well in my opinion. I've never once said anything about kneeling.

    I was discussing what was said by McNair, it's a simple phrase used often. Inappropriate but not racist in the least.
    Why don't you get some reading comprehension before you chime in about some old "rhetoric", same old generalizing as cometswin

    My biggest issue with McNair's comments, and one no one has said (that I've seen):


    Bye bye Free Agents. Good luck signing anyone decent.

    Which sucks because, you know, we just got a quarterback to build around.

    Bob McNair literally brought football back to Houston and now we are going to throw him under the bus for using a cliche? Just because a group of hyper-sensitive, low-IQ athletes got triggered by erroneously interpreting his remark is NOT a reason to brand Bob McNair a racist and stage a ridiculous walkout. I love Deandre Hopkins as a player, but let's face facts -- I don't look to him for intellectual guidance. What makes Deandre Hopkins and Duane Brown the authority on what is, and is not, morally correct? This is just another absurd, hypocritical, sanctimonious lecture by a group of people that have no reason to lecture anyone -- athletes. Play the game and save us your uneducated lectures on morality.

    GOOD DAY

    there is a differance on what was meant and what was said... we know what he meant. You can't have employees dictating how a business goes about running the business. I like Trump but I also love my football and it's been a sad case of political views crossing into sports ...he chose his words poorly but do we honestly believe the owner thinks his players are prisoners ? Seriously this is overblown
