But Sproles was disrespected, considering the Saints let him and his family find out about the trade through Twitter. Twitter. For a huge major life move for Sproles and his family, the Saints let it get to Twitter before letting the man know something about getting traded. Sounds like disrespect to me, and I'd be upset as well. He didn't even come across as an @$$ about it, anyways, and Brees said he'd have felt the same way in that instance.

I do understand Karma pretty well...studied it in Okinawa for 3 years and live it in one form or another every day. I also posted the political correctness definition because I was being accused of it and I wanted to clarify my stance. And I reckon I ain't hippie enough or just too stupid to understand karma.

I'm leaning towards too stupid. You win.

I'd imagine twitter is a whole lot faster than the process the Saints had to follow. The tweet could have gone out two seconds after someone found out a deal had been reached in principle. The Saints probably aren't going to tell a player (or his sleazy agent) anything until the deal is finalized.

I suspect we'll see a lot more of this type of so called disrespect as long as instant social media exists.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Saints found out that Sproles found out before the Saints even finalized the deal.
