Onalaska ISD superintendent apologizes for posting 'you can't count on a black quarterback'

Onalaska ISD Superintendent 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 promoting a Chron.com story about the Texans' recent loss.

In the post, he referenced the last play of the game in which quarterback Deshaun Watson 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."
