Texas School Superintendent Regrets 'Black Quarterback' Comment About Deshaun Watson

A Texas school superintendent says he regrets comments he made about Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson when he wrote “You can’t count on a black quarterback” in the comments section of an article posted on the Houston Chronicle's website.

Lynn Redden, the superintendent of the Onalaska Independent School District in East Texas, commented on the last play of Sunday's game between the Texans and the Tennessee Titans when Watson with a chance to possibly tie the game, held on to the ball as the clock expired.

The Texans lost the game 27–20 dropping its record to 0-2.
