Article touching on a number of topics but all leading back to Goddell. Surprisingly, Texans owner Bob McNair comes off as the biggest asshole in an article that has numerous quotes from Goddell and Jerry Jones.
Article touching on a number of topics but all leading back to Goddell. Surprisingly, Texans owner Bob McNair comes off as the biggest asshole in an article that has numerous quotes from Goddell and Jerry Jones.
McNair, the Texans’ owner and a big Republican donor, gave $10,000 last year to help repeal a ballot initiative in Houston that protected gays and lesbians from forms of discrimination.
I asked McNair if he was as sensitive to other offensive language, specifically the N.F.L. team in the nation’s capital’s being named the Redskins. McNair told me that he grew up in western North Carolina, around many Cherokee Indians. ‘‘Everybody respected their courage,’’ McNair told me of the Indians. ‘‘They might not have respected the way they held their whiskey, but. . . .’’ He laughed. ‘‘We respected their courage. They’re very brave people.’’ Put McNair down as not offended by ‘‘Redskins.’’
