Houston Texans Chairman and CEO Cal McNair made a racially insensitive comment at the teams charity golf tournament in May, causing gasps in the audience and upsetting numerous employees, according to several witnesses. McNair, addressing more than 100 attendees at the Houston Texans Foundation Charity Golf Classic at River Oaks Country Club, spoke into a microphone just outside the pro shop as participants gathered in their carts before leaving to tee off via a shotgun-start format. At the end of his brief remarks, according to two witnesses who asked to remain anonymous, McNair whose family has owned the Texans since they were founded in 1999 told the crowd, Im sorry that we couldnt get together last year, because of the China Virus. As McNair and his wife, Hannah, looked on smirking, some audience members were stunned by the reference to the COVID-19 virus, which had forced the 2020 tournaments cancellation. Everyone gasped, one witness said, especially the people directly across from him. He and Hannah seemed to think it was hilarious. It was dead silent. In a statement to Bally Sports via a Texans spokesperson Tuesday, Cal McNair expressed contrition for the remark. My comments at the event last May included an inappropriate choice of words, McNair said in the statement. I immediately apologized to people who approached me then and I apologize again now. I know how important it is to choose my words carefully. I would never want to offend anyone. The revelation about McNairs comment comes at a particularly sensitive time for the NFL, which has been rocked by the recent resignation of Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden in the wake of leaked emails containing racist, homophobic and misogynist content. The emails, sent by Gruden during his time as an ESPN commentator to then-Washington Football Team executive Bruce Allen, were uncovered as part of an investigation into a workplace misconduct scandal which resulted in owner Dan Snyder relinquishing day-to-day control of the team to his wife, Tanya. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 ...

Not surprising that it happened, and sadly not surprising that he'll likely face little/no consequences.
