Houston Texans founding partner Janice McNair passed away at the age of 89

Janice McNair, founding partner of the NFL team Houston Texans, has passed away at the age of 89. McNair, alongside her husband Bob McNair, led a significant struggle with the goal of bringing the NFL vision back to the city of Houston.

They made efforts to fill the huge void left in the city after Houston's former football team, the Oilers, relocated to Tennessee. As a result of the initiatives by Janice and Bob McNair, the Houston Texans were established, and the city's passion for professional American football was revived.

Following the opening of this new chapter with her husband, Janice McNair remained an important figure of the club for many years. Her legacy lives on in the rebuilding of Houston's football culture and in bringing a new sports identity to the city.
