Houston Texans head coach and general manager Bill O'Brien says he'll take a knee during the national anthem next season with his players to protest racial inequality and police brutality.

"Yeah, I'll take a knee -- I'm all for it," O'Brien told the Houston Chronicle. "The players have a right to protest, a right to be heard and a right to be who they are. They're not taking a knee because they're against our flag. They're taking a knee because they haven't been treated equally in this country for over 400 years."

Hoping this chases away audiences in droves.

One must take special note to NOT buy things advertised on the broadcasts and to let the advertisers know you are buying alternates as long as they support America-hating, terrorist supporters.

I hope so as well. Turn off ESPN as well. Just as bad as the MSM (they are the MSM).

Drink the kool-aid.

Has not a rational thought in his head.

“Yeah, I’ll take a knee — I’m all for it,” O’Brien told the Houston Chronicle. “The players have a right to protest, a right to be heard and a right to be who they are. They’re not taking a knee because they’re against our flag. They’re taking a knee because they haven’t been treated equally in this country for over 400 years.”

I used to be a Texans fan. I gave up the NFL for good when the kneeling started. I’m glad to see the NFL double down on giving patriotic fans the middle finger.

One knee? Is he not even going to put his face on the ground?

Every cable/satellite package available has Disney and ESPN built in to it.

Black people just laugh at white people when they do stuff like that.

1) The U.S. is only 244.

2) These guys were all born in like the late 80s and 90s. A tad less than 400 years old.

3) They are all rich.

“Hoping this chases away audiences in droves. “

I would hope so too. But I got a feeling there will be enough guilt ridden, football addicted white fans in the stands that will follow suit and kneel instead of standing for the anthem.

So what happens next?

Well kneeling is cheap. Now that you’ve admitted to your guilt it is time to atone. How do you do that? Well, reparations of course.

Watch for a big reparation push in a few months.

I think Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys beat you to the punch.

I know. If you have cable, even if you don’t watch, they are still getting paid. MSNBC and CNN are getting money from me even though I never watch. I would like to simply cut the cable but my family is not on board.

As long as his down on his knees he may as well be giving the players blowjobs.

He would have done more for his team by not giving away De’Andre Hopkins to the Cardinals.

They are all on board with the 1619 Project. I guess now it’s 401 years.

Ugh - just stop you sycophants.

Taking the knee does NOTHING but virtue signal.

You want to DO something? Move your team to Detroit or Minneapolis.

Maybe they should just play Camptown Races instead of the Star Spangled Banner.

A bunch of highly paid athletes in their 20s and 30s haven’t been treated equally in a 244-year-old country for over 400 years. Who is this person? Was he wearing a bib when he said that?
