Texans players met late Saturday to discuss how to protest as a team against Houston’s owner Bob McNair over his controversial “inmates running the prison” comment.
“The players could decide to all kneel together, and also discussed peeling the Texans decal off of their helmets or raising their fists,” according to ESPN.
Whatever their demonstration winds up being, it won’t be revealed before the game against the Seahawks.
McNair apologized for his words multiple time this weekend, saying: “I am truly sorry to the players for how this has impacted them and the perception that it has created of me, which could not be further from the truth.”

And not a single f___ will be given.
DEAR OWNERS OF SPORT STEAMS: FIRE THEM ALL AND START OVER NEXT YEAR!.
Whole new team next year.
Amen!
If they don’t like working there, they should quit.
“I quit”.
Otherwise, please shut up, and play.
First mistake was apologizing.
Well, I wuz gonna Wright sumpin but, you did it already...
And, if one were to be given, the coach would tell any player without the team logo on their helmet he/she is out of uniform and get off the field. LOLOLOLOLOL! Think their coach has the sack? Nah. Too much money involved. For now. Hopefully revenues are down across the board.
Remember the strike and the ‘scabs’? We survived.
And real smart considering that in Houston, the Texans aren’t exactly on everyone’s mind right now.
Pulling off the decal means you’re no longer on the team.
Why would anyoneone object to being called an “inmate” unless they consider themselves to be in that category?
Unfortunately that can’t happen. These players know they have the owners bent over and can do whatever they want.
If you own an NFL team and the chattel you have running around on the field to play the game doesn’t even want to wear your team logo, I’d say your investment is worth about $0.
Disgusting,
They couldn’t drive away more fans than if they tried.
(I don’t care)
> First mistake was apologizing. <
Yep. Now the players are free to do almost anything without fear of being disciplined.
Players union. Gotta love it. Is there some way we could get them to go on strike?
Yeh caving in only feeds into their rebellion. We are starving the beast by not participating in their ungrateful, traitorous tantrums. Bye NFL.
You can’t be more of a suck up PC than the Texans’ coach.
