Watson shows class following Texas school administrator’s racist comment

Deshaun Watson took the high road.

The former Clemson star said Wedneday he is not worried about the racist comments a Texas Superintendent of Schools said last week on Facebook following Houston’s loss to Tennessee.

“It’s a part of life,” Watson said to the media. “I cannot control what other people’s beliefs are. I can control what I can control. I just focus on me and that is it.”

Onalaska ISD Superintendent Lynn Redden said following last Sunday’s game on Facebook, “you can’t count on a black quarterback.”

He later took down the post and apologized.
