Dean Cain: Roger Goodell Very Much to Blame for Houston Texans Kneeling over McNair’s Comment

‘They are not clear on their policy’

EXCERPT:

DOOCY: "Meanwhile, it is the largest single team protest in the NFL to date. All but 10 of the Houston Texans kneeling or sitting during the national anthem. The show of force in response to owner Bob McNair who compared the inmates — the players to inmates when at a meeting he said we can’t have the inmates running the prison."
KILMEADE: "Dean Cain played for the Buffalo Bills before becoming a Hollywood actor and she went to Princeton and joins us right now. So this is the kneeling story with a new twist. The owner was trying to do — was trying to come up with a phrase don’t let the inmates run the asylum, like the coaches and owners are usually in charge. And became huge headlines."
CAIN: "Yeah, very unfortunate choice of words. He missed the analogy there, obviously. If he had said asylum, we probaly wouldn’t be and talking about it now. He's apologized tremendously for it and -- and he was trying to refer to the league."
DOOCY: "Right."
CAIN: "-- being the -- the inmates, if you will. And -- and -- because the league is running things." [crosstalk]
DOOCY: "And he wanted the league to crack down on the people who were not standing during the anthem."
CAIN: "Yeah, and it's sorth of the league dictating policy. And the truth of the matter I think Roger Goodell's very much to blame for this at this point in time. They are not clear on their policy. You know, in the NBA you are standing. You have to. It’s a workplace. Can you imagine doing that when you are working at -- in your office?"
