At the very least they should apologize for being dumbasses.

[players protest]
Saints: That's their right and even if we don't agree we should respect it

[military dude refuses an award]
Saints: That is sad and divisive

Seriously, what were they thinking?

It's the typical "nothing we say or do is wrong" all the while condemning those who feel otherwise. Looking at their official page they really don't get it.

The difference is that wells is just some everyday schlub who according to the saints spends his time doing wonderful things

And the saints amidst this whole controversy and after finding him worthy of honor told him publicly to go frick himself

Wells isn’t selling shite for public consumption. The saints are, and doing so using taxpayer money

Yes, NFL players and the Saints should use Trump's political statements as a guide for their business.

Sweet lord, are you on the public relations staff for the Saints?

So his not accepting the award is considered divisive, but yet they don't even consider the possibility that the kneeling is divisive and is what lead to him not accepting the award?

Makes sense

I wish I wasn't atheist so I could thank God every day that liberals like you learned NOTHING from 2016.

So, the Saints “honor and support” veterans by calling them out?

Libs are so deranged and pissed off about trump that they can’t even say the saints are being total choades about this

In fact, they’ve gone a step further...the disabled vet who does charity work is the piece of shite...

I’m sure mason Ginsberg posts on this board. Mason, your twitter feed is hilarious.

Kneeling during the anthem because you're a fricking retard who hates cops IS divisive
Only to those who are predisposed to being divided. Everyone else sees it and goes "Hey, that dude's pissed about something" and moves along with their daily life.

At least that's what I did but I'm no snowflake.

"You are fighting for a racist and systematically oppressive nation that degrades and harms people of color.

Yeah, that's not disrespectful.

I have a different opinion about the kneeling than Wells, but I have no problem whatsoever with his opinion, especially since he conveyed it respectfully. We need more respectful responses like that, and the Saints did the complete opposite. Inexcusable in their part.
