A Texas school superintendent apologized and then defended his racist stereotype of Black NFL quarterbacks. Lynn Redden, the superintendent of Onalaska school district, though he was commenting privately on a Houston Chronicle website about blaming Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson for losing the game Sunday, Yahoo Sports reported. Redden apologized after someone took a screenshot of his comment and it went viral. But later he defended his derogatory remarks to the Chronicle by arguing that Black NFL quarterbacks “have had limited success.” Redden’s comments were prompted by Watson running out the clock on the final play in the Texans’ loss to the Tennessee Titans. The racist stereotype that Black quarterbacks are great athletes but not very intelligent or hard working apparently fueled his analysis of Watson.
