A Texas school district superintendent is claiming he regrets saying of the Houston Texans Deshaun Watson, You cant count on a black quarterback. The comment was posted to a Houston Chronicle Facebook page, and the official said he thought he was responding instead to a private message from a friend.

I wish it had never been posted, Lynn Redden, the superintendent of the Onalaska (Tex.) Independent School District, told the Chronicle on Monday. The official, whose district is located about 85 miles north of Houston, was frustrated by a game-ending sequence in the Texans 20-17 loss Sunday to the Tennessee Titans in which Watson mismanaged his teams final play.

That may have been the most inept quarterback decision Ive seen in the NFL, Redden wrote in his Facebook comment. When you need precision decision making you cant count on a black quarterback.

According to the Chronicle, Redden quickly deleted his comment, but a Houston-area resident captured an image of it and alerted the newspaper. Its important to make sure horrible words are met with consequences, especially for those in powerful positions with influence, the resident, Matt Ericksen, said.

Ericksen added that while he didnt have children in the Onalaska district, he was concerned about what he saw as an overtly racist remark made by someone in Reddens position. A 2016-17 Texas Academic Performance Report listed nine students out of a total of 1,026 in the district, or 0.9 percent, as African American.

Tell that to the Michigan wolverines for the last 15 years. I'm allowed to make that joke because I'm a Michigan fan. Our record against mobile qb's is atrocious.
