There is a suggestion on the OT that Lee circle be rebranded as Lee circle. I tried not to get too emotionally triggered by the whole confederate statue thing, but Brees Circle I could get excited about. How do we make this happen?

They can only name one statue after a player. They are going to reconstruct the face of Andrew Jackson to Ricky Jackson so we can still have Jackson Square

Aaron Brooks circle would be a more productive solution

No thanks. The dude doesnt want to live here and doesnt live here. His employer just happens to be here.

ETA: This isn't a dig on Brees, just the truth.

if we're going 2 replace the statue dont you think its appropriate for the replacement to be a black man....i mean come on man. putting brees up there you might as well put a george bush statue up. Im thinking a Will Smith state. Smith Circle. has a nice ring 2 it. the african americans of our gr8 city deserve some notoriety as well

How about naming it after Fats Domino? Domino Circle? Fats Circle?...

Or hell, how about putting an Apollo Creed statue up there since Carl Weathers is from New Orleans.

Sooo...the only way people,New Orleans residents and the NOLA Mayor,would approve this is if the took all these statues down and put up monuments of black people? I say keep Lee Circle after General Robert E. Lee-the man earned the right to be up there

How about we make a statue of a black man, white man, Mexican, Chinese, and all other nations holding hands with smiling faces.




Isn't that how this works? No one gets offended? Everyone is represented?



Oh....and don't forget the rainbow framing the new statue

I would love to know that amount of down votes you've received since joining this site. It's got to be a number that even Rex would be jealous of.
