Texas School Superintendent Resigns After Making Racist Comment About Deshaun Watson

Texas school superintendent Lynn Redden has resigned after he made a racist comment toward Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.

The Onalaska Independent School District's Board of Trustees accepted Redden's resignation after a special meeting held Saturday morning.

Redden's racist remark came after the Texans dropped to 0-2 on the season after falling to the Titans 27-20 in Week 2. On the final play of the game against Tennessee, Watson had a chance to possibly tie the game but held on to the ball as the clock expired.

"That may have been the most inept quarterback decision I've seen in the NFL," Redden wrote in the comments section of an article posted on the Houston Chronicle's website.
