From chaos to stability.

There have been numerous people associated with the Houston Texans, who no longer are anymore, since Jack Easterby’s reign of terror. From the players we loved, to the competent front office executives, to even those in the business and the P.R. side of it, many have left the chaos for Houston to other spots in the NFL, and the sporting world at large.

One of whom, is Texans president Jamey Roots, who had one of the easiest jobs in the world. Making money by running the business side of the Houston Texans. Selling football in Texas is like selling umbrellas in a rain storm, or steaks in a strip club, or, I don’t know, juice boxes at a Marvel movie. It’s easy. Texans love football. The Texans play football.

Rootes resigned from the Texans earlier this year, and has taken on a more difficult task, running the business operations for the Houston Dynamo. He will be their Chief Operating Officer.

Soccer is a an unamerican game, a game for the rest of the world, a game for communists, a game for feet, a game devoid of violence. It’s a game we all play as children, it’s a cute novelty every four years, it’s something that catches your eye on an early Saturday morning gym trip for five minutes (spoiler, no one is going to score), it’s a fun video game to play, but it is not our game. It is the world’s game.

Rootes will have a much more difficult job trying to sell soccer in Texas, than selling football in Texas. We here at Battle Red Blog wish him the best of luck.
