Payton does not believe the Saints were booed for the act of kneeling; he believes fans started booing because they thought some players might be on a knee during "The Star Spangled Banner."


He is correct on that. I was there.

If you follow the timeline..

1) Players took a knee and the fans started booing.
2) The moment of silence started...I don't think the fans in attendance even heard the announcement over the boos.
3) The players stood back up for the anthem and received claps and cheers.

Correct

I was there, I did not boo, but I also did not hear an announcement about the moment of silence

I picture it like this:

1) "I can't believe these jerks disrespect the flag by playing politics and not quietly standing at attention during the anthem - I'm going to scream profanity and boo the hell out of them during the anthem to prove my own political point!"

2) "booooooo - frick you for not standing!"

3) "Oh, wait, I did that during a moment of silence for a fallen officer? Damn players forcing me into this!"
