Texans owner Bob McNair cancels meeting with San Diego mayor

SAN DIEGO -- Houston Texans owner Bob McNair, a member of the NFL's influential Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities, canceled a meeting with San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer after making controversial comments about a City Hall scandal several years ago.

The meeting, scheduled for Thursday, was to be part of Faulconer's attempt to keep the San Diego Chargers from leaving for an industrial suburb of Los Angeles.

The mayor's office took offense with comments McNair made to the Houston Chronicle.

"In San Diego, they've been trying for about 15 years,'' McNair told the Chronicle.
