Most Texans kneel during anthem after owner's comments

SEATTLE (AP) — All but 10 members of the Houston Texans took a knee during the national anthem Sunday, as the vast majority of the team protested the owner's "inmates running the prison" comment.

The Texans had indicated there would be some type of protest following the comments by owner Bob McNair. It came prior to the Texans' wild 41-38 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

"I'm never going to force anyone to do anything they don't feel comfortable with. I think we all felt the same way on Friday," said Houston left tackle Duane Brown. "As far as the demonstration went, some people didn't feel quite comfortable (kneeling) and some people did, but we all supported each other. That was what was important.
