The Houston Texans owner reportedly made the comments at a meeting between owners and players to discuss players kneeling during the national anthem.

At a meeting between players and owners, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair reportedly told the players that their "compadres" should stop kneeling.
McNair had also previously drawn controversy for saying, "We can't have the inmates running the prison," in regards to player protests.

A new report from the New York Times sheds light on a meeting held between players and owners to discuss the issue of players kneeling during the national anthem, and one quote, in particular, is not going to help the perception that Houston Texans owner Bob McNair has been insensitive to the players' concerns.
