A school superintendent from East Texas is under fire after posting a racist comment to social media following the Houston Texans loss this weekend.
Superintendent Lynn Redden, of the Onalaska Independent School District, took to Facebook on Sunday to express his frustration following the Texans’ 17-20 loss to the Tennessee Titans, which saw quarterback Deshaun Watson hold the ball as the game ended. But when Redden commented on a link to a Houston Chronicle article about the game, he left a racist message he thought was private.
“That may have been the most inept quarterback decision I’ve seen in the NFL,” Redden wrote Monday morning about Watson’s performance at the end of the game. “When you need precision decision making you can’t count on a black quarterback.”
A screenshot of the comment was published by the Chronicle after it was flagged to them by a reader.
