Former Texans owner Janice McNair’s son Robert Cary McNair Jr. “plans to sue” the NFL for $60M for its “alleged ‘deliberate effort to silence’ him,” court records show. The league allegedly got McNair Jr. “sidelined from the family businesses because officials didn’t like him questioning its ‘decision making’ in two high-profile player scandals.” McNair Jr. contended the league tried to shut down his questions by “negotiating a restructuring of the McNair family business and McNair family trust, which led to the more pliable Cal McNair, Cary’s brother, being installed as the Owner’s Representative, and to Cary McNair being stripped of his roles and employment with the McNair family enterprises.” McNair Jr.’s attorney Tony Buzbee said in a statement, “We believe the evidence will be clear and overwhelming that the NFL intervened in the McNair family business to remove Cary McNair from his position as CEO, in an effort to silence Cary McNair. He won’t be silenced.” The NFL, McNair Interests and the Texans did not immediately return requests for comment (N.Y. POST, 9/27).
