re: Saints player Kenny Vaccaro doesn't want fans that disagree with him to attend games

***** tears.

the players have essentially unlimited time and money to go take up their cause during the offseason. did any of them do it? instead they choose to bring it to the games. I watch football to watch football. I don't want to see protests, commercials, etc... just football.

This whole thing has spiraled out of control, but you have zero clue whether they spend their time and money on their cause because no one gives a crap about that. I’m sure plenty of them actually do donate to charities and spend time in the communities.

People don’t want to hear about players spending time and resources on racial inequality just as much as theyre tired of the kneeling. It all boils down to the same thing.

Politics bleeding into football.

And lastly the ones that truly care about making a difference probably don’t give two craps about whether the public catches wind of it or not.

Do these guys not realize their pay is directly linked to the amount of people that want to watch them? Guess NFL players think their paychecks are just too big. the sport is already on a finite path because of the nature of concussions and rule changes, and then add on top of that, players taking useless actions to alienate the people who contribute to their income. Let's be honest, the main reason alot of these guys are kneeling, is bc they are being told not to.

I personally don't care either way about the protests, I'm still going to the games, but my respect for the intelligence of all these guys is dropping fast, and that's frustrating to me bc I like football, and I'd like to keep it alive as long as possible. Apparently some of the players don't care.

I don’t blame the Saints for defending themselves for trying to do something nice for someone and getting put on blast in return. The guy used the platform of a nice gesture to push his agenda against the NFL/Saints. I can understand why he used the platform, but I can also understand why the Saints are essentially going “WTH, why are we dealing with this for trying to honor someone?”

It is amazing how quickly it went from anger about disrespect for the flag/anthem to just being mad about the ptotests in general. 

I think its just residual anger from the anthem thing and some people not realizing the change to not kneeling during the anthem combined with people just disagreeing with the message.

Well the original reasoning for the kneeling, and this comes straight from Kaepernick's mouth, is because he didn't want to stand for a flag and anthem of a country that oppresses black people.

He changed his tune when it pissed so many people off.

I'm sorry, but you can't change your entire narrative Midway because you realized you pissed everyone off.

The original meaning of the kneeling still resonates even if they're doing it before the anthem now.

That on top of using your employment to shove a political protest down your customers throats, when all they want is to watch football....it's just bad business and ill advised.

I mean, when I go get a coffee in the morning, my barista doesn't serve me an iced coffee with a side of political protest. If they did I probably would quit going.

Your a moron. You already bought the tickets. So they already got your money. Hahahahaha.

But sure dont sell your tickets. Wait that hurts you tho idiot. Thats your lost "revenue" not the new orleans saints. What a fricking dumbass shite fricking thread. Assholes
