Michael Thomas suing for $1 million

saintfan · 08-26-2021, 12:09 PM

I don't know why everybody is rolling on him. All that matters in context is that he gets along with Coach and performs when he's on the field. **** happens with injuries, and our team doesn't exactly have an exemplary record with it's players on the subject.

A few good games and everybody will forgive him or stop dwelling on the man's personal life.

I've lost interest in this Diva. If he comes back and plays that's fine. If he gets traded I'm fine with that too.

Sure. I want to win too. But he better be worth the money. And drama.

...which he choses to make more public through social media

Truth, and sad. Social Dilemma is something he (and everyone else) should watch. He's not doing anything his peers aren't doing. Personally, I don't understand walking around looking in other people's windows (social media), even if they want me to. Especially if they want me to, cause that's weird. We can be sad for the world, but picking on one guy because he's on our team...

Meh. Let him be.

People aren't picking on one guy - they're commenting on a public figure's repeated issues and how he's responding to them.

Public figure....

He's a football player. The Saints chose to pay the man. He wasn't voted into his role on the football team by us. I could feel violated (potentially) if that were the case. In this case I do not. Just me. E'rybody carry on with ya'll bad selves....

Once again, who cares? As saintfan said, he's just a football player. If he helps us win, great! Anything else, means nothing to me.

If he gets traded I'd be pissed. He's one of the best WR's in the entire league, if not the best. It isn't like he killed someone.

People care when he’s not available to help his team...especially for the size of the contract he has. He should be a team leader. He is not acting like one. Off field extra-curricular activities that take away from a player’s focus, especially one who was already under the microscope because of how he/the team handled his injury, is relevant.
