Son of Texans co‑founder sues NFL for tortious interference
Robert Cary McNair Jr. filed a lawsuit Thursday in New York State Supreme Court suing the National Football League for tortious interference and seeking more than $60 million, alleging an NFL‑backed effort to restructure the McNair family business that excluded him from meaningful roles and installed his brother, Cal McNair, as the owner's representative. The complaint — brought by attorney Tony Buzbee — claims an 'alleged conspiracy' between the NFL and Cal McNair to silence Cary McNair after he publicly questioned player scandals and the league’s decision‑making.
