Houston Texans players are planning to protest as a unit before Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks in the wake of team owner Bob McNair's controversial "inmates running the prison" comment, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Texans held a players meeting Saturday in Seattle to decide how to handle Sunday after McNair's comments surfaced, the source said.

Texans left tackle Duane Brown told ESPN's Josina Anderson on Sunday morning that he anticipates that "up to 65 to 70 percent" of the team's players could kneel. He said the players would not remove the team's decals from their helmets, as had been discussed.

Why don't they just cut to the chase and give the fans the bird during the National Anthem!

Does Bob McNair have any First Amendment rights, according to the stunted misfits among the NFL players who are perpetuating this silly temper tantrum?

Maybe if you held practice as often as you do meetings, you’d be better than 3-3....

Not watching anyway, so have at it little men.

Hope you all get everything that’s coming to you.

Boy, the truth really hurts these coddled little racist bastards, doesn’t it?

Moronic THUGS!

[Crucial]

Did he really say prison or did he say asylum? And is it on tape?

[fortheDeclaration]

They are all scum!

There’s going to be many players cut in the off season throughout the NFL.

My, how times change.

The day before I started my first real job (i.e., paycheck deductions), my Dad told me that only two things should ever come out of my mouth at work: “Yes, sir.” and “Right away, sir.” Anything else, according to him, was grounds for immediate and justifiable termination.

Today, the NFL bosses live in fear of their employees—All caused by the guy they hired to supposedly prevent this sort of thing from happening in the first place.

Meanwhile, all of Houston is going, “Go ‘Stros!”

This is getting so silly! There are more important things to waste their time on.

The Seachickens just might outdo them in the oft-offended wuss category. It’ll be close.

[chris37]

What difference does it make?

He’s correct in both instances.

[ColdOne]

I do not know if it is on tape, but he admitted it. Yes he said prison.

The winless San Francisco 49ers asked fans if they actually care that much about winning. A survey sent to fans was tweeted out by Twitter user “BozTank,” who wrote, “I’m a lifelong @49ers fan and that doesn’t change when they are 0-7, but this survey they just sent me hurts. ‘So, if we lose, do you care?'” " I’m a lifelong @49ers fan and that doesn’t change when they are 0-7, but this survey they just sent me hurts. “So, if we lose, do you care?” pic.twitter.com/UshqrhLhcZ " — Boz (@boztank) October 23, 2017 It is never, and I mean...

The San Francisco 49ers weighed in on the national firearms debate Thursday, announcing their $500,000 donation to push for more gun control and a ban on bump stocks. The team is partnering with local and national law enforcement in an effort to create a “safer America,” by banning silencers and and armor piercing rounds, according to ESPN writer Nick Wagoner. A portion of the donation will also fund public service announcements geared towards police brutality and violence. {..snip..}

When are they going to get around to protesting the first-down marker chains?

[ColdOne]

Bwahaha! True!

[moviefan8]

I wonder if there is an out clause in the players contracts to fire them now.

If there is, then get rid of them now.
