who fricking cares - they aren't doing it during the Anthem - which is what all of the uproar was.
i swear to god Society just needs something to bitch about.
I don't want them making a political statement of any kind (even those I agree with) during the game. It's not what I'm there to see...and I don't enjoy divisive political issues being mixed in with a football game in which I'm paying $150ish to attend.
As such, I'll boo the hell out of them when they do it.

They didn't boo until they announced the moment of silence. The officers picture was up on ththe board and all already. Fwiw

Where was the booing when the Lions took a knee when Quin was injured? Since kneeling is disrespectful, was waiting for the fans to rain down the boos on his injury and cheer when they stood up.

All the boo birds changing the rules midway through. Last week it was about disrespecting the anthem, this week it isn't. Make up your mind yall.

You're just plain wrong and it is evident you don't have the full story because you weren't there. A few players took at knee and the beginning of the moment of silence then the rest of the team did it right in the middle of the moment of silence. The crowd obviously doesn't agree with the message whenever it is displayed. The announcement was well heard in 511.
It was especially disrespectful for the players to try to push their agenda during a moment of silence. Making the moment about your social beliefs instead of honoring the downed officer or honoring the country is shitty either way and we as paying customers just don't want to see it. It has nothing to do with their rights. And you can't tell me our players can't see or hear but I do believe they are self centered dumb asses so maybe that's the excuse.

People can have multiple reasons why they aren't happy or disagree. Again, the bullshite message and timing were the issues.

During the "game" aka, during the event that I'm there to see. Did you really think you were making a good point by showing that kickoff hadn't yet occurred?

Well, it didn't delay the game in any way so it had no effect on the game. If you're so deeply offended by it then don't go.

So black or white
. I'll do what the frick I want with my tickets and money. You don't get to decide. I may "protest" in front of players' houses. I guess that's as an appropriate place as any nowadays. I also wonder if you were one of the guys bitching if ticket holders didn't go to the game in "protest."

He is right
Not based upon what happened in my section.
In my section it was clear the booing was for the knee supporting the BLM movement during the moment of silence for a Black police officer killed in the line of duty by a Black thug with a long criminal record. The kneelers were specifically perceived as offensive due to that absurd view on the life of a police officer killed in the line of duty.

Sun tiger, several people at game have stated they weren't even aware of moment of silence that commenced. Don't act like it was all deliberate fans being disrespecting slain officer. They were reacting and expressing their opinion to the Saints first pre anthem kneel.

I'll add to the discussion. I was there. I am in LE. I was aware of the NO cops death. I truly feel it (moment of silence) was done hastily and at a poor time. I really only knew what was happening because I looked at the video board and saw his picture. Boos had already started to rain down prior to the announcement and if players continued to kneel, it was because they had no clue what was happening. Total lack of communication, and to me it should have been done after the anthem with everyone knowing how the players were going to behave. But that's my 2 cents.

How did a post this goddamn stupid get 8 upvotes?
No one said kneeling, in and of itself or under any circumstances, is disrespectful. But it's easier to make a strawman and pretend like the kneeling during the anthem isn't being done in DELIBERATE DEFIANCE of the well established traditions of showing respect during the anthem. We've all been horribly mistaken I guess. They've been kneeling to show respect for the flag and anthem, not to "protest" it due to completely unsubstantiated claims that the country is systematically oppressive to blacks. Who TF do you think you're fooling?

I don’t want to see the team kneel under any circumstances before, during, or after the national anthem. It is offensive and I will no longer watch any game whenever this team sanctioned action takes place.
Nobody gives a shite what you think and its an easy fix, stop following to include posting on this board.

Please explain how kneeling before anthem and standing for the anthem is disrepctful to the anthem and the flag?

frick 'EM for bringing their shithole politics into the arena of high dollar paying fans. Are you still going to ask how they're disrespectful?
Gimme America before these dumbasses.

Well that's not at all what I said nor implied. Kneeling during an injury and kneeling in protest to the anthem, which IS how this started and it only changed to before the anthem because of the backlash, are not remotely comparable and anyone with a shred of honesty understands that. The inability to avoid strawman arguments is fascinating.
