Big Bob currently under fire: "Cant let the inmates run the prison"

Lol this has awoken trader kagy.

Too little too late.

Knowing how piss poor the texans are at PR..and how much of an arrogant tone deaf idiot mcnair is .I honestly cant wait to see him double down and be the face of this whole thing. which is what has happened in a half day. News travels fast old boy. mccrap as poster boy would be the unexpected icing on a rather wild ride to full exposure of this guy.

They should put his quote on that statue which like the lettermen jackets is looking pretty strong an idea. good one

POPCORN IN POSITION

 

Absolutely disgusting racist freak he is. Almost more than a pathetic attention w****.

Question for the group: If the NFL did not exist, would you be listening to Deandre Hopkins and Duane Brown lecture you on race relations? Um, no. I side with McNair -- he deserves the benefit of the doubt here. It's highly off-putting that so many people are willing to quickly trash a great man's reputation because of the inappropriate reaction of overly sensitive athletes. Beating people over the head with the race card is a move that is so overplayed. When you are accused of being racist, it's guilt by accusation in the court of public opinion. And that's wrong. We should not let that happen to Bob McNair.


GOOD DAY

 

By the code of texans own conduct book we would now have to cut mcnair.

Mcnair seems pretty hardline when players step out of line but we are all supposed to cut him slack? I see.. nice two way street you got there.

McNair did not step out of line. He used a commonly used cliche that was misinterpreted by players who were looking for a reason to pout and feel victimized. If you are comparing that to players who have beaten women, abused drugs, or committed actual crimes, then that is illogical and inappropriate.

GOOD DAY

 

I founded a multi national law firm.

What have you done in the business world?

 

Uncle Bob - "I have black friends".

 

Not good at jumping and reaching for conclusions? That is all you do.

Are all bad people racist? That is irrelevant, as no one is saying that is the case.

Lots of large companies were founded by bad people. So should no one work for Ford? What about Papa John? WalMart?

No one forced him to work for the NFL? If he wanted to be play professionally in the USA it is the NFL and he IS forced to play for the Texans under the CBA.

 

What a stupid comment. We all know what he meant.

Also, for those of you who are getting so emotional about the backlash, can you at least admit what a stupid business decision it was? Good luck getting free agents to sign here. Hope all of our guys show up on Sunday, but I wouldn't blame them if they didn't. What a stupid thing to do.

Only a complete and total moron thinks that he was actually calling the players prison inmates.

The idiom "letting the inmates run the asylum" is used to describe a scenario where the least capable people of being in charge are given that responsibility and it leads to chaos....you know, exactly like the situation of letting the players do whatever the hell they want to do when it comes to political BS to the detriment of the product.

The problem is that players only care about their own short term interests and whims...you know like the protest BS, and they don't care about the long term interest of the league. I don't blame them for that, but it's why you can't let them run the show.

So not only was what Bob McNair said not something that is offensive, it was something that was completely accurate.

 

Agreed, he's a complete embarrassment. The sooner he's gone, the better. It's hard to pull for a team with an idiot like that allowed on the roster.

 

Why can't we laugh at McNair, the outraged players, the folks outraged at the outrage, etc... Oh wait wait we can, I'm laughing at all of you and them ROFL!!!!

 

If the same comment was made by Jerry Jones or by other owner, I am 100% sure most if not all the posters here will have a totally different post that we got in this thread.

So for all your morons trying to defend Bob in any ways, it's pathetic.

 

I would argue that all of those who are bending over backwards to try and spin nothing but an inoffensive idiom into some big deal are pathetic. It only makes it worse that you have some of the most privileged people on the planet acting like idiots about this and people lining up to defend their stupid behavior.

 

NFL players have been involved in murders.


They are in no position to take higher ground on social issues are more.

A Kansas City Chief walked into head coach Romeo Crennel's and killed himself after killing his girlfriend. Nobody remembers

I never heard of an owner"s check bouncing so crime me a river.

Pro athletes go broke five years after retirement. They should concern themselves with issues like that.

 

NFL players are the stars but they don't empower themselves and they are compensated plenty enough to do so.

It's not the owners 'faults players don't empower themselves the owners live up to their obligation.

The owners negotiate television contracts that provides for everyone's salary so they do play a role.

 

At some level the players have to know exactly how little they matter in the big picture. Every single NFL player could die tomorrow and the NFL would be back at 100% in 3 or 4 years. Without the NFL, those players are nothing and they know it. Without the current group of players, the NFL just makes different people millionaire stars until the next generation of superstars are ready to step up.

 

Honestly, if black people are going to be this sensitive about something simple as this I would want as little to do with them as possible. Why would you bring someone into your business that can't handle a common statement that has been made about many common businesses that have no black members but all the sudden scream racism when it's applied to this? It's getting ridiculous and I'm getting sick of it as are many other folks. "Oh blacks are inmates now and the NFL is a prison"...wtf...really? since when do inmates get paid millions to run, jump, tackle, and catch a ball? And have the ability to quit anytime they want?

It's a privilege to play a GAME and get paid several times over a typical person that would be paid to work just as hard, say, in the oil field. Quit pretending like you have no other outlets to make your political statement...that's BS. If they want to take a knee instead of standing to honor the flag of the country that has led them to a career that gives them a mansion...fancy cars...money to take care of their families and friends...so be it. But don't whine like a b**** because owners (you know the guys that write your checks) try to right the ship when fans start turning the channel bc they get sick of it. You'd get fired in any other job that you'd try that crap in...quit pretending that you're special.

 

Details please.
