re: Changing the name to "Louisiana Saints"

I am from Bossier City.
(rite across the river from shreveport for all of you pickle smoochers)

First off, changing the New Orleans Saints name is an absolutely ignorant idea. I love it the way it is. Should never change...

Secondly, and i've battled this issue before,

all of you elitist "New Orleans Native" yadda yadda yadda,
that have posted in this thread with dumbass remarks such as:

" 99.99 % of true fans are from N.O"

"Weren't all the people north of Alexandria Cowboy fans until this year?"

"North Louisiana sucks, Mississippi is......"

just to name a few that stuck out in my mind...

Lemme tell you somethin... I know a ton of people just like me who live here in north louisiana that have grown up on saints and only saints football... Through thick and thin....
Have watched everygame within our power...
Fought tooth and nail, threatened lives, and cussed the hell out of the fox 33 affiliate for airing cowboys over saints..

shed tears, blood, and spilled beer over the few triumphs, and many trials the saints have endured in its 44 years.

I dont give a damn where you live, or where you are born. A true fan has nothing to do with proximity to the dome. A true die hard fan is forged through watching saints for as long as that individual can remember, and cheering their arse off....

I really dont feel like taking time to articulate a well spoken rebuttal to many of you ignorant asses.
but the last thing i will say is that

just because of *(here is a prime example)...posted from one NOLAZACH below:

"I made a point of making every home game that year, my dad had given me season tickets and after Katrina I was able to trade out for those games. ""

this individual was given season tickets, and is ABLE to go to the home games.. this doesnt make him anymore of a fan then someone from north la.. it just means he was born into an easy oppurtunity to be a fan....

infact one could argue that much repect is owed to those who are die hards from north LA.

We arent able to attend everyhome game, and have season tickets, be it job restrictions, monetary restrictions, or anyother thing..

We are bombarded with some cowboy fans, but we hate them more then yall do...

so in closing, dont act superior because of your geographic location... there are a ton of die hards that have been lifers...
that are not from New Orleans..
