"Cal, I know it seems tough now remember Jesus, the guy who fed five thousand and crip walked on water? He said 'If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.'"

quote:

The fanbase is also no longer beholden to the Houston Texans.

We’ve done our part to support this team through thick and thin, but when the owner puts a charlatan before the players, employees, fans, and the rest of the world, the implied contract between fan and team is broken. There are 31 other NFL teams that would be happy to have a fanbase as passionate and loyal as the one Houston has enjoyed for the last 19 years. Time to move on since Cal McNair has shown no signs of selling the team or firing Jack Easterby.

As a Lions fan, being able to go "well at least that's not us!" is extremely cathartic.

I feel bad for that fan earlier (maybe it was in another thread) who said they just want this saga to be over already

Forgetting the fact that when you're a fan of a team that gets in a stupid reckless period of time like this, it's at best a decade before the team actually recovers from it

We just had like three years where everyone wanted BOB gone, ending with him being gone, and someone Worse immediately taking his place. If this thing has a rock bottom, it's not being hit for a while

Felt inevitable after that audio came out where he apologized to Deshaun for the team wasting his time. You don’t go back from feeling that way; If he hadn’t been cut or traded, he would have sat

This is a pretty unique fandom hell that's probably only worsted by the franchise outright leaving the city. It's worse than your conventional "horrible ownership continues to stand behind horrible management" narrative because the details here are so much more salacious and embarrassing.
