It happened in Baltimore not that long ago. They cancelled baseball games because of it due to the threat. They weren't saying yeah right.

Those two games were postponed due to rioting in the streets. The rioting was not directed toward the stadium itself nor anything to do with the teams. That is a far cry from saying the Superdome gates would be stormed by hundreds of angry protesters.

Chances are that this will not even be a volatile issue come the beginning of the NFL season. There is so much knee-jerk reaction around here. Three days ago there were people on this site claiming that Drew Brees' career was finished and the Saints are in turmoil. Well, they have come together and worked through their difference like adults. A few months back there were people claiming that the Saints would have to fold and the league would demand that the franchise be sold because of the over-hyped Associated Press article about the New Orleans Diocese. In fact, I'm thinking it was some of the same doomsayers.

LOL!
