I am hoping to find like-minded Saints fans, or those who are not so brainwashed in their blind following of the Saints, at the cost of honor and justice, to create an swelling of support for a new coaching staff. We need to clean house if we, as a city and an organization, want to be known to care about sportsmanship and playing with dignity and honor. Sure, it's not a popular opinion here because most here treat the Saints as their god who can do no wrong. Their clergy, like Payton and others, are likewise unblemished by the stain of sin. Or, if they are, no more so than others.

I'm disappointed in the response from the majority of Saints fans regarding this scandal. Do the people really care about wins and losses more than integrity and virtue?

Actually yes, many do. That shouldnt be surprising.

Many of us however believe once someone serves time for their crime they should be given a second chance. Justice can be about second chances, not just the death penalty.


This isnt religion. This is entertainment. This isnt a moral question for the fabric of humanity its football. You are never going to get enough people organized to demand they fire everyone in the organization. That is straight up crazy.

The NFL as a whole, is a corrupt monopolistic pyramid scheme focused around a barbaric sport that celebrates violence.

and you think the Saints would instantly become sanitized if they cleaned house?

Don't act all high and mighty. The players weren't actually trying to injure anyone on purpose. It was just to encourage them to play harder such that if an injury occurred in the course of legal play they would get rewarded. Harder hits = more likelihood of potential injury. Pay for performance gone overboard sure, but not the same as physically assaulting someone.

This is fricking football. Hard hits and roughness are what the game is made of.

We don't apologize for how we play.
