LTE: Anti-hero

Regarding “Unsung hero during uproar has been O’Brien’s leadership” (Page C14, Wednesday), columnist John McClain compliments Texans’ coach Bill O’Brien for his unqualified support for his players after they protested owner Bob McNair’s comments about “inmates running the prison” during a meeting of NFL owners and player representatives

The problem is that McNair categorically denied that his comments were directed at players and that has been corroborated by various people in the meeting, including Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

By supporting a phony narrative, O’Brien let his players put the stink of racism on an honorable man. That’s not the definition of a hero to me.
