The Houston Texans owner reportedly made the comments at a meeting between owners and players to discuss players kneeling during the national anthem.

  • At a meeting between players and owners, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair reportedly told the players that their "compadres" should stop kneeling.
  • McNair had also previously drawn controversy for saying, "We can't have the inmates running the prison," in regards to player protests.
