'you can't count on a black quarterback'
Onalaska Independent School District Lynn Redden said he wished he never posted a comment on the Chron.com Facebook page Monday morning saying "you can't count on a black quarterback."
Redden, who oversees the Onalaska school district about 100 miles north of Houston, said he thought he was responding to a private message from a friend. Instead, he posted the comment on a Facebook post.
In the post, he referenced the last play of the game in which Deshaun Watson, quarterback for the Houston Texans, held the ball as the final seconds ticked off the clock. "That may have been the most inept quarterback decision I've seen in the NFL," he said. "When you need precision decision making you can't count on a black quarterback."
He said he was referring to the statistical success of black NFL quarterbacks. "Over the history of the NFL, they have had limited success". He said he understands how people may interpret the post as racist, but he said he didn't intend for it to come across that way.
