Houston Texans  star Jadeveon Clowney wore an inmate costume for Halloween, weeks after Bob Mcnair made comments comparing the NFL to a prison.

Clowney wore an orange jumpsuit at a Houston-area party. As per reports, Deshaun Watson, Kareem Jackson, Alfred Blue and Bruce Ellington also attended the celebration. Clowney is reported to have said that  he was not taking a “shot” at McNair with the costume choice. “There  was no hidden meaning behind his Halloween costume,” Texans senior director of communications Amy Palcic  a leading daily from Houston.”He was not taking a ‘shot’ at anyone. It was just that – a costume at a Halloween party.” The Houston Texans owner made the comments at a meeting of NFL owners responding to players kneeling during the national anthem before football games. “We can’t have the inmates running the prison,” McNair is reported to have said.  After the comments, about 10 Texans players stood with their hands over their hearts while others knelt on the ground during the national anthem before a 41-38 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. Later McNair apologized for his comments.  “I regret that I used that expression,” he said. “I never meant to offend anyone and I was not referring to our players. I used a figure of speech that was never intended to be taken literally. I would never characterize our players or our league that way and I apologize to anyone who was offended by it.”
