We are not watching or buying. No Christmas presents will be associated with the NFL either.

Houston Texans players considered walkout over Bob McNair comment

Wonder why NFL players aren't happy?

oh wow, what a bunch of sensitive snowflakes - these are supposed to be tough Football players?

That's hilarious, managers use that phrase "inmates running the asylum" ALL THE TIME in all walks of life, and now because of political correctness insanity they think he was calling black players convicts? I mean seriously S.T.F.U

Arctic ice is disappearing at increasingly alarming rates, however there is a colossal amount of ice left.

So by your analogy there is nothing at all wrong with the planet

you're right - should compare the Super Bowl w/ the World Series - not a regular season game.

"I regret I used that expression. I never meant to hurt anyone and I was not referring to our players," Bob McNair says.

Smart thinking. Apologize quickly when you know you've made a mistake.

Actually he said "We can't have the inmates running the prison," not asylum like you posted. Prisoners are felons. If you're going to use a metaphor or cliche, at least don't mix it. Freudian slip, I guess.

I've seen more than a few posts from whining snowflakes who don't like the peaceful knee demonstrations calling the league a bunch of felons......McNair must hate it that he's paying them millions of dollars.

Yeah, when you're giving your game check(s) to help people it's a bit tough to hear an owner say that.
