Old Rich White Guy Says Terrible, Racist Thing at NFL Owners Meeting

Go ahead and read the whole story here, because, let me tell ya, it gets worse.

Speaking at a meeting between owners, team executives and commissioner Roger Goodell, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair reportedly said "we can't have the inmates running the prison" in response to NFL players taking a knee during the United States national anthem.

On Friday, Seth Wickersham and Don Van Natta Jr. of ESPN.com detailed the protest-focused meetings this month, which featured both private gatherings and a separate large session that also included players. They noted McNair's statement in the owners' exchange of concerns "stunned some in the room."

ewwww boy. That’s a tough one. Regardless on where you stand on these issues, this is not a great look for anybody, and by anybody I mean specifically Texans Owner Bob McNair.

In case we needed anymore evidence than we already have, this just goes to show we should definitely stop giving old white dudes microphones, also money, but first microphones.

I mean not only do you have the comments above, but also:

"At one point, Buffalo Bills co-owner Terry Pegula, moved by Anquan Boldin's story about his cousin being shot and killed by a police officer, complimented him on how impressive he was but kept calling him 'Antwan.' Then Pegula suggested that Boldin would be the perfect NFL spokesman on social issues not only because he had walked away from the game to pursue causes but because, the owner said, it couldn't be a 'white owner but needs to be someone who's black.'"

Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. That’s somebody’s grandfather, and whoever you are, it’s on you to fix this. Just like at Thanksgiving when things get a little out of hand with ol’ grandpa, you hide the cooking sherry, give him his warm milk, and you put him to bed. Seriously everybody call your grandpa right now and make sure he’s not saying some racist shit. It’s time for grandchildren world wide to step up; this is a bad look for everybody.
