Here we see Houston Texans’ owner Bob McNair apologizing for his “regretful” comment about the inmates running the prison when they kneel during the national anthem:
He is, of course, regretful; his comment is regrettable. So, not only is he a rich jerk; he also doesn’t know correct usage. (I’m also not thrilled about his use of “impact” as a verb, and he needs a comma before “which”.) Also, you kids need to get off my lawn.
The whole sentence is a mess, but I think perhaps the “which” should be a “that”.

Perhaps. These sorts of statements are typically written by professional PR people, aren’t they? They oughta know the difference between “which” and “that”. Also, DeShaun Watson is the real thing.
