Who Owns the Houston Texans? A Tale of Football and Family
So, you wanna know who's the big cheese behind the Houston Texans, huh? Let's dive into this gridiron ownership saga.
The McNair Dynasty: From Humble Beginnings to Football Royalty
If you're thinking the Texans are owned by a shadowy corporation or a mysterious billionaire, think again. This team is all about family values, kinda like the Waltons but with way more touchdowns.
The original mastermind behind the Texans was Bob McNair, a man who clearly had a huge love for football. He managed to convince the NFL to give Houston a team, and boy, are we glad he did!
Tragically, Bob passed away in 2018. But fear not, Texans fans! The torch was passed down to the family. First up was Janice McNair, Bob's wife, who stepped up to the plate like a true champ. But as we all know, moms are great but sometimes you need a little more oomph (technical football term).
Enter Cal McNair, Bob and Janice's son. This guy is the current principal owner. So, there you have it. The Texans are a family affair, with Cal holding the reins. It's like a real-life Succession, but hopefully with fewer backstabbing and more touchdowns.
The Texans: More Than Just a Football Team
Now, you might be wondering, "Why should I care who owns the Texans? I just want to watch them win games!" Fair enough, but the ownership of a team can actually have a big impact on the city. The McNair family has been involved in various philanthropic endeavors in Houston, so they're not just about making money (although, let's be real, that's part of it too).
So, while the Texans might not be the Patriots or the Cowboys (yet), they're definitely a team with a heart. And with Cal McNair at the helm, who knows what the future holds? Maybe a Super Bowl victory? Or at the very least, a really good brisket cookout.
