Warriors forward Draymond Green had a strong response to some controversial comments made by Houston Texans' owner Bob McNair.
During last week's NFL owners' meetings, McNair is quoted as saying "we can't have the inmates running the prison" in reference to the recent uptick in player demonstrations across the league.
In response, Green took to Instagram and attached a long comment to a photo of McNair that reads:
"Wow! This sure does sound very Donald Sterling-esque. But I'm sure the fans pay to see him play and he's putting himself at risk of CTE by going out there every Sunday and giving 110%! Inmates? For starters, let's stop using the word owner and maybe use the word Chairman. To be owned by someone just sets a bad precedent to start. It's sets the wrong tone. It gives one the wrong mindset. Webster states that an inmate is a person confined to an institution such as a prison or hospital. Not sure these tax paying men should be referred to as inmates- but what do I know?"

Green is referring to former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling who was banned from the NBA for life in 2014 and fined $2.5 million by the NBA after private recordings of him making racist comments were made public.
McNair has since issued a public apology.
