A handful of Seahawks have voiced displeasure upon hearing the owner of the Houston Texans, Robert C. McNair, say ‘we can’t have the inmates running the prison’ while referring to recent player protests.
McNair made the comment during an NFL meeting that included commissioner Roger Goodell and players. The Bleacher Report says McNair made the comments after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made a speech about finding a solution which he believes is impacting the league.
McNaid apologized on Friday, via Twitter.

I can appreciate ppl being candid. Don’t apologize! You meant what you said. Showing true colors allows ppl to see you for who you are.

I wish more ppl would do that. So the world could ostracize those who don’t want to see EQUALITY. Otherwise they will continue to hide
