And therein lies your first mistake - if you didn't bet it yet don't. You have a super huge unknown variable exponentially increasing the un predictibility factor of this game. THROW IT OUT!

Why is it racist? First, its simply a figure of speech. Second, he said inmates. Lots of non blacks in jail.

These dudes nees some tampons. Buncha pu$$ies.....

That is the real question (i.e., how this perceived racism will impact the Texan team) and the point of the thread. But others have chosen to make it about race and I have responded accordingly. 
If you are trying to help people win money you should be pushing to throw the game out - which most professional bettors have already done. It's obvious. But you are pushing a "Seahawks agenda", speculating that this story will cause Texans players to lay down.

As if handicapping the NFL, the only sport besides rugby to have a ball that isn't even round, wasn't difficult enough already, you are going to choose a game that also has all of this? More unknown crap?

I am so glad I moved out of the US. Too bad now sports has been bitten by the BS bug...

I remember that Clippers game too. One of the worst games I’ve ever handicapped. 

Texans have one of the worst offensive lines in football. Brown is back but he needs a game under his belt. They’ve only played one game without Watt and Mercilus against Cleveland. Missing those guys in Seattle will start to show how below average this team is. 

I laid Seattle -5.5 and it’s oneof my supercontest plays.

Its a good angle, but remember when cam newton made the joke to female reporter before the lions game, then he had to apologize, lost endorsement, major distraction.  I thought canm would play terribly at detriot.   He goes out throws a bunch of tds and they win.
Texans could just as easily rally as lay down here.

Oh you haven't heard? There are a lot of "blacks" in prison so its technically not racist. 

As I said before, the racism that exists in this covered is magnified on this forum.

This is a good angle. I spotted it a few days ago and took the seahawks.

Good luck

If you misquoted it, why isn't McNair allowed to?

For you to state that it was a Freudian slip because he associates his players with black prisoners is so far out there that i'm not even sure how to respond.
How the heck do you know what his intent was?
How do you know that he is a racist?
How dare you determine what his intent was when YOU ALSO MISQUOTED the phrase???

When you said "inmates running the asylum" were you insulting crazy people?
I think you were. It was a Freudian slip on your part, you just disparaged the deranged people of the world.
I think they should all take a knee before they get their meds tomorrow morning!!!
NO it is the inmates running the asylum, here educate yourself! 

The inmates are running the asylum is: A reference to 1989 cult film Dr. Caligari. A reference to the 1920 cult film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. A reference to the 2014 film Stonehearst Asylum. A book by software designer and programmer Alan Cooper, "the father of Visual Basic".

Just saying Inmates about your employees isn't exactly wise IS IT??
Especially when their main race has a history of some criminal injustices???

And I'm conservative and think these idiots should stop kneeling and start doing things like sending money to Chicago to help prevent more kids from being killed...

 I agree with one thing..........Houston is not concentrating on a very tough game they have in a very tough place to play.

A bunch of old white guys on this thread that have never faced a lick of racial hardship in their lives mad at athletes for standing up for themselves after being disrespected. I love it

And in case you all didn't know, African Americans make up just 13% of the U.S. population, yet comprise 40% of the incarcerated population. A vastly disproportionate number of African Americans imprisoned compared to Whites.

It’s racist because the chronically offended, whiney liberal P/C Nazi pu$$ies said it is....and their crap liberal media lackeys never call them out on it, so they keep expanding the parameters of what is racist.

So you're suggesting that blacks should be 13% of the prison population because they make up 13% of the overall population?

If that's the case we need to start rounding up people from Asia and putting them in jail, because they are under represented there.

Perhaps I'm just old school, but I have always felt that the prison population was based upon crime, and not whatever race you happen to be of. 

Anyway, this is the wrong forum for this topic, and is a stupid conversation to be had, as no ones opinion on it will change

I agree nothing racist about what he said, its a old saying except he used prison. America is becoming to sensitive.

It’s a different world today you must think before you speak otherwise you will be accused of something wrong even though you did not intend it to be insulting.With that being said these players truly need to grow up and become men.Unfortanetely they are young boys in their twenties that don’t have a clue.They are pampered and making millions.

 I am sensitive towards others but these punks need to really stop blowing everything out of proportion. If I took everything literally that was said to me throughout my life I wouldn’t even be standing.

The statement the owner made was just a saying.There are people of all races that play for the Texans.

Most if not all of posters in this thread do not know this man and what his personal beliefs are, but want to condemn the players as being "leftist", "pussies" or too soft.  I'm sure most of these players have a better (more intimate) knowlege of their owner and his ravial sterotypes or tendencies. Old white people tend to be "inherently" racists as that is the world they grew up in.  Is it right, no; understandable, yes! 

Seattle -6

A good reporter would ask:

SPEECH:
Is this a pattern of speech from McNair?
Are there previous incidents of similar speech?
Have others heard him say such speech and have (been) quieted?

ACTIONS:
Have players been strongly (by whose definition?) disciplined for speaking up?
Indeed, have players (of color) been waived or traded for speaking up?
