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."

Yeah life is brutal in those Mansions they live in, not to mention the horror of being treated like royalty when they were in College.

The players run the NFL now. The commissioner, owners, and coaches are scared of them. The same goes for the NBA.

That's the truth !

He needs to be thinking about getting his QB Deshaun Watson a better offensive line so he doesn’t get paralyzed. But O’Brien has proved that he doesn’t care much about that.

It is a bit surprising that they aren’t kissing their asses.

Ain't that the truth.
