Also, while someone like Donald Sterling or Jerry Richardson (or McNeck) is free to be as big a racists shithead as he wants, the governing body of the league with which his team is affiliated is free to have statutes that discipline certain things that may be perfectly legally permissible in T̶e̶x̶a̶s̶ society at large.
I love how McNeck thinks that pussy grabbing is okey-dokey as long as you pay them off. Christ, I'm ready for these people to gtf away.

It's one of the things he probably did. McNair's attempted point was that rich people pay off things like that because it's cheaper whether they did it or not. Maybe that's true on occasion. Since there was never a trial or even a legal accusation I won't weigh in. Whatever the circumstances it is more than enough that he should immediately lose his football team because of how he represented the NFL. According to the NFL an accusation and no payoff was enough to suspend Ezekiel Elliott for almost half a season. But Elliott is a black 'inmate' so it's no surprise that the 'wardens' hypocrisy allows them to punish him but not themselves.
But defending sexual assault that you are unconnected to is beyond stupid. In what world does a person wake up and say 'today I think I'll remind people that we need to be nicer to that guy who paid off sexual assault allegations.' I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that McNair believes that or the fact that he thinks it's ok to say it. I feel the same way about his inmates comment. I'm stumped by whether it's worse that he's casually racist or if it's worse that he is so comfortable being casually racist and thinks our world will accept it.
