Want to hear a joke?

Want to hear a joke? Houston Texans. That's it. That's the punchline. Not so funny, is it?
The Texans once again managed to embarrass Houston. The home field loss to the marginally mediocre New York Jets was not only an embarrassment to the city, it was indisputable insult to the fans - particularly loyal season ticket / PSL holders.
As fans, we must realize the truth: we are enabling Bob McNair's addiction to predatory greed. As long as we keep giving money to him, he will keep taking it from us. Don't be fooled - Bob thinks nothing of it. He feels absolutely no sense of obligation to field a better team. He isn't spending your money on team improvement. Your money is going in his pocket. Case in point, the Texans have one of the lowest (if not lowest) paid non-player staffs in the NFL. Mr. McNair is not so bold as to blatantly cheat fans with bad players. He uses more deceptive means. He cuts corners in coaching, scouting and administration.
If Bob was really interested in winning, Bill Cowher would be head coach right now. Bill would have one of the most impressive coaching and scouting staffs in the NFL while McNair gladly paid for it. And the Texans would be a winning team.
But Bob isn't interested in winning. He is interested in greed.
It is time for fans to stop enabling Bob McNair.
Fans with PSLs should stop buying concessions at the game.
Fans with only season tickets should not renew their seats.
Fans without season tickets or PSLs shouldn't buy individual game tickets.
Lastly, no fan should buy Texans merchandise.
Once the money is gone, Bob McNair will have only two choices: 1) sell the team or 2) produce a winner.
