Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien ripped off a local school principal who made racist remarks about quarterback Deshaun Watson after a 20-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

"I do not want to waste a lot of time responding to outdated, inaccurate, ignorant and silly statements," O'Brien said at a news conference on Wednesday. "I'm just going to let Deshaun's proven success on the field, his off-court character speaks for himself. He is one of the best guys I have ever trained. He represents everything that is right about football, about life. His teammates respect him. His coaches respect him.

"Nowadays, it is incredible that BS exists. But that's the case. We are going from the front. And our fans, they love Deshaun and we really focus on the Giants, but I think I lost about a minute and a half in response to this BS.

O'Brien's comments are based on a commentary published on an article published on the Houston ChronicleWatson's website regarding Watson's performance in the final game of Sunday's loss.

Lynn Redden, superintendent of the Onalaska Independent School District, which is located about 100 miles north of Houston, wrote in response to the article: "This is perhaps the most unexpected decision of the quarter that I saw in the NFL. When you need to make precision decisions, you can not rely on a black quarterback.

Redden said in an interview with the Chronicle that he deleted the message immediately after realizing that it was a public comment and not a private one.

"I totally regret it," said Redden the Chronicle before attempting to justify his comment by claiming that the black quarters had "had limited success" in the NFL's history.

Redden's initial remark was in response to a sequence at the end of the match, when Watson and the Texans were down three points near the midfield and needed to get into the goal zone.

Watson broke the ball and bounced into the pocket, finally burning the remaining 17 seconds of the clock and sending a pass to receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The match ended before the Texans line up on the pitch.

Watson took the high road and refused to criticize Redden.

"Of course," said Watson when asked if he was dealing with racism. "It's everyday life, I guess. But I'm all about love, so I do not focus on that. I like all people. That's what I focus on.

"It's part of life. I can not control others and their beliefs. I can control what I can control. I focus on me and that's all.

The school district issued a statement in which it stated "does not tolerate any negative comments or action against a race", although it has announced no discipline for Redden.

"It's not my job," Watson said when asked if he thought Redden should be fired. "I do not make that decision.

"It's on him. May peace be with him. I'm not worried about what he had to say.
