HOUSTON -- Houston Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair apologized Tuesday following a report that he made an anti-Asian comment at a team charity golf tournament in May.
According to Bally Sports, which spoke to several individuals who were present for the remark, McNair said, "I'm sorry that we couldn't get together last year, because of the China Virus" while briefly addressing the 100-plus attendees at the Houston Texans Foundation Charity Golf Classic at River Oaks Country Club.
McNair was referencing a phrase used by former president Donald Trump. Soon after he made the comment, McNair apologized to the individuals who were still around him before the start of the golf outing.
