Texans Jadeveon Clowney Dons Prison Garb At Halloween Party
Clowney insists it was a costume, and not a jab at team owner Bob McNair over "inmate" comments

HOUSTON, TX — A video that shows Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney wearing an orange jumpsuit at a Halloween party has raised a few eyebrows, after recent comments from team owner Bob McNair.
The video, which was taken at an area nightclub during a team party, shows Clowney wearing the jumpsuit just days after McNair was publicly vilified by team and other NFL players after McNair made the comment: “We don’t need the inmates running the prison,” during an NFL owners meeting where the issue of players kneeling during the national anthem was discussed.
McNair apologized for the comments, but the players declined his apology and took a knee in Seattle during the national anthem.
