"I spoke with two NFL agents this week who said word is the Texans aren't interested in any players who participated in pregame kneel-downs in protest of police brutality.

There is no directive within the organization, but it is considered to be understood that as desperate as the Texans are to bring in talent, the pool of potential signees and draftees will not include anyone who has participated in protests or are likely to.

Relax. The Houston Texans are not a racist organization.

Passing such judgment on another's moral compass is grossly unfair when based on a few incidents.

Yet, the Texans' owner has been racially tone deaf often enough that many believe race is a significant factor in how the team runs its business.

There are many who believe if McNair could field a team with all-white, all-conforming all-pro talent, he would."
