    Texans owner reportedly said of protests: 'Can’t have the inmates running the prison'

    https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/t...ng-the-prison/

    If the players had any balls, they would refuse to play this week. I wonder if they'll make him sell the team like Donald Sterling.

    And DeAndre Hopkins is having a hissy fit over it.

    So dramatic.

    The guy was mimicking a cliché, he's 79 years old, and he got the term wrong. He meant "asylum", not "prison", and all the social justice warriors are out to get him.

    Jamele Hill, of course, leading the charge.

    Is this a story if he says asylum instead of prison?

    Are the players or anybody for that matter, actually shocked the owners don't care about them?

    That wouldn't have made it any better. The offensive notion is "inmates."

    Of course it is. He referred to the players as inmates. Asylum might have been worse.

    Lmao, he probably says it so much he doesn't even know asylum is the correct phrase.

    Two-part question for you:

    #1. Did you find the "inmates" part offensive?

    #2. If SBR John said as posters, we can't give each other infractions on our own. The inmates can't be running SBR. Would you find that offensive?

    It's not offensive!!!

    The expression has been around forever and all it does is give an analogy.

    probably so, as then hopkins would have claimed he calling him a crazy n-word instead of just an ordinary n-word.....

    one of them real, real crazy n-words:

    I didn't because I'm not an NFL player. But if I was an NFL player, I'm pretty sure that I would find that offensive, yes. Posters to SBR is not even close to the same dynamic.

    How would you find that offensive if you knew what the expression was about?

    All it's saying is ....The employees are not the boss. The owners are.

    If you didn't find it offensive, why would you find it offensive if you were an NFL player? Are you suggesting NFL players aren't smart enough to comprehend clichés?

    Read again, genius. I said IIII would be offended if IIII was an NFL player. And I'd be no more or less smart than I am now. Has nothing to do with intelligence. Has to do with role. Just because something is a figure of speech doesn't make it appropriate. In any case, he apologized and his apology should be accepted.
