Stay classy, Texans fans

Not all of the Texans fans were cheering when Matt Schaub went down with a gruesome-looking injury. But there was a group of people who watched their own quarterback go down and were happy about it.

That’s not acceptable, under any circumstances.

The “rotten apple” theory probably applies here and a bunch of these fans appear spoiled as a result. But the preceding weeks don’t give me much hope for Houston here.

First there was the “incident” at Schaub’s house and now this? It’s poor taste.

Schaub spent his prime toiling on bad Texans teams after being traded from Atlanta and was a big part of the turnaround in Houston that actually allowed this franchise to become a contender. They were nothing before Schaub helped actually provide them some sort of reasonable expectations for the season.

The dude might not be the best quarterback in the NFL but he’s a capable starter who helped navigate the Texans to uncharted — for this franchise — waters. Rooting for him to suffer an injury lacks class. And any Texans “fan” who did so should be ashamed.
