During a meeting of the NFL team owners, Bob McNair said we can’t “have the inmates running the prison,” but they already are
During the meeting where NFL team owners considered ordering the players to stand during the National Anthem, Texan’s owner Bob McNair remarked that the NFL can’t “have the inmates running the prison.”
Sorry Bob, but you’re a dollar short and a day late. Actually you’re a year late because the inmates are already running the prison and have been in charge ever since Colin Kaepernick sat out the anthem last season.
Here’s the proof they’re running the’prison’: Your own players that you are paying forced you to apologize by walking out of practice sessions. And the NFL team owners did not have the guts to order their player st stand during the playing of the National Anthem.
Of course McNair was only figuratively speaking. Anyone with half a brain knows McNair does not consider NFL players as prison inmates. But that did not stop a shitstorm of social media attacks by NFL players, wives of players and players from other leagues. There were many calls for McNair to be forced out of the NFL.
Had McNair used the more commonly used phrase about the ‘inmates running the asylum,’ which would have been more appropriate for the NFL, he would still have been battered by a shitsorm of accusations that he thinks NFL players are crazies.
Bob, you do not owe anyone an apology for the ‘inmates’ remark you made. Figuratively speaking, you were exactly right. But you do owe an apology for your failure a year ago to demand that Roger Goodell throw Colin Kaepernick out of the league.
