Disgruntled Texans fans ravage tweet wishing Cal McNair a happy birthday

Fun fact: Oct. 24 is Houston Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair’s 60th birthday.

Certainly McNair has had an interesting career in the NFL as his late father, Robert McNair, was the founder of the Texans.

The Texans’ official Twitter account did the right thing and honored McNair by wishing him a happy birthday.

However, disgruntled Texans fans, who have endured an offseason full of discontent, have seen their team stumble to a 1-5 start while riding a five-game losing streak, and are about to see former faces of the franchise in DeAndre Hopkins and J.J. Watt return as Arizona Cardinals just weren’t having any of it.

Contrast that with last year’s similar tweet. Fans were somewhat optimistic after McNair fired Bill O’Brien after an 0-4 start. With a franchise quarterback already locked up, pick the right general manager, right coach, and it could be good times in Houston again.

Winning cures all ills. Losing makes everything grating and insufferable.

Here are some tweets that highlight how Texans fans took the invitation.
