"Inmates"

Everyone is freaking out about Texans owner saying we can't have inmates running the prison, thus referring to NFL players as inmates. Of course, this "offense" is completely disingenuous and he should not apologize. "Inmates running the prison" is a common figure of speech. Can some man just stand up and say, "gimme a fucking break, we're men, not babies. We all know what he meant." But no, the inmates do in fact want to run the asylum. Good luck with it.
