More Than 30 Houston Texans Take a Knee to Protest Remark

Dozens of Houston Texans made good on their promise to protest during the national anthem before their game against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday. 

More than 30 Texans took a knee during the anthem and several sat, USA Today reports. They were protesting Texans owner Bob McNair's remark that "we can't have the inmates running the prison," which he reportedly made during discussions on NFL player protests. 

Only about 10 Texans stood for the anthem in Seattle, most of them with a hand on a teammate's shoulder. At least seven Seahawks players also refused to stand for the anthem, as they have been doing all season, the Guardian reports.
