And just when it seems like the rancor over the anthem controversy had settled to a slow simmer, it's back on the front burner, lid rattling on the pan.

Tackle Duane Brown said Friday that Texans players considered walking out of practice on Friday over owner Bob McNair's comment at last week's ownership meeting that "[w]e can't have the inmates running the prison."

"I'm very upset," Brown said, via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. "It sickened me. . . . It's horrible. It's frustrating."

Brown added that, even though players decided not to leave, it's not over.

It's possible that receiver DeAndre Hopkins wasn't sufficiently persuaded, given that he missed practice due to a personal day - and in light of the reality that coach Bill O'Brien refused to comment on whether the absence is connected to the McNair remark.

McNair has apologized for the choice of words, but not for the message. And that's what should bother players more than McNair's decision to use a fairly common figure of speech.

And now McNair has an uncommon problem: A possible revolt and a major distraction as the Texans prepare for an already daunting challenge in Seattle on Sunday.

Lol, big boy snowflakes get upset about some tiny things :1orglaugh

The NFL fans need to grow a set of balls and boycott anything NFL.
Start emailing sponsors telling them your going to boycott this till the bullshit stops.
Anheuser-Busch InBev, Barclays, Bose, Bridgestone, Campbell's, FedEx, McDonald's, Microsoft, Nationwide, Nike, PepsiCo, Ticketmaster, Under Armour, Visa, and more....

NFL - Neeler Football League.

Why should I boycott it? I'm not offended by their kneeling and enjoy watching football. When you watch the games on TV 90% of the time you don't even see the anthem, the broadcast starts when the first kickoff is about to happen.

how far can you stick a shoe in their mouth

Kinda like how you are always crying about evil liberals taking your bottle away..

So tell me, how does their kneeling affect you? Why are you so outraged about what some guys on a football team do that have zero effect on your daily life other than giving you something to whine about?

Why not pull your panties out of your vag, grow a pair of balls and quit crying about what some football player does?

Not really, I am "crying" about their double standards. Or in this case "crying" about them crying about ridiculous things.

He's a racist asshole. you didn't know that? what cracks me up anger at peaceful protest. start some random killings they will listen then :2 cents::2 cents:

He must have been watching too many Roman movies and gladiator stuffs.

Newton's law.

I always thought that all of you duffoons who give a fuck about sporting events like these were the dumbfucks but all a long apparently it has been the over paid extremely well paid gasbags you all care about so much who are so fucking dumb
Hell they're apparently dumber than you all are. By a significant margin.
