Most members of Houston Texans kneel for National Anthem in protest of owner

SEATTLE —

Only 10 active Houston Texans players stood for the national anthem with the rest of the team kneeling down.

The Texans had indicated there would be some type of protest following comments by owner Bob McNair. McNair has issued two apologies and is attempting to explain his comments after a story in ESPN The Magazine this week revealed that he said "we can't have the inmates running the prison" during a meeting of NFL owners about players who protest by kneeling during the national anthem.

There were reports the Texans would consider staying in the locker room for the anthem, but the entire team took the field about 10 minutes before kickoff. When the anthem started more than half the active roster took a knee.

It is possible the owner didn't realize that associating blacks with prison is "racist" ??

As I learned the old phrase, it was "let the inmates run the asylum," which I'm sure the SJW crowd would claim is demeaning their intelligence.

Hope you know I was being sarcastic.

When liberals rant about why there is such a high percentage of blacks in prison....
the obvious answer is "racist."

Remind me again how disrespecting this country's flag means you are protesting your boss?

Seems these young men need some more education, as what they are doing will simply land them in the unemployment line.

The only NFL team I would watch is the Texans. Now I am done with the Texans too.
