No wonder these clowns got 48 points layed on that arse.




"KENNER - New Orleans Saints players Terron Armstead and Cam Jordan joined a group protesting the City of Kenner's ban on Nike products.

Armstead and Jordan joined hundreds of protesters inside the packed Susan Park gymnasium at a 5 p.m. protest against Mayor Ben Zahn's decision to ban booster clubs from purchasing Nike products.

The move, according to a statement by Zahn, comes down to the taxpayers of Kenner supporting what Zahn refers to as Nike's "political agenda," which he said was advanced by the selection of #takeaknee founder Colin Kaepernick as one of the faces of the company's new ad campaign.

"This government will not let taxpayer dollars be used to promote a company’s or individual’s political position, platform or principle," Zahn said. "That’s my position as a matter of fairness to all."

I HIGHLY doubt this is the reason they're protesting... but I do agree municipal governments shouldn't take a political stance at the expense of taxpayers.

Oh they’re still with the Saints? I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch the NFL anymore.

Why does Louisiana love to stoke racial tensions?

This faux outrage over "disrespecting our flag" has gotten so tiresome. You ceded all moral high found when you swore your lives to Donald Trump.

I actually can't think of anything more American than protesting.

They aim to be like Kappernick? Shitty at their jobs and unemployed and crying everyday? Protesting something they do not understand and leading an army of community involvement for all the wrong reasons while doing nothing to help the people they claim to care about?

They are well on their way.

Trade them to Seattle where their efforts will be rewarded with people who give a shite.
