Don’t open that can of worms. It’s just another bastardized term that people use that are completely indoctrinated by politics. Similar to “patriot.” Not remotely relevant to the thread.

I get tired of hearing coworkers and even some “friends” using it. I was hoping that poster would be willing to hear the correct usage. I guess I was hoping for a little too much.

I'm assuming that poster was Bako. I haven't seen anyone else go there in this thread and saw he just posted something. I've had him on "Ignore" for some time now since all he contributes are hate posts about Saints management and players. I hadn't expected him to take the "woke" road as well. Can't say I'm surprised.

I went back and looked. You are correct.

I used the term in the context of saying it was not relevent. I see all this debate on how Michael Thomas called out Brees on the kneeling issue, a page of debate about it, and basically to me this amounts to debating whether Thomas is ‘woke’ or not a ‘patriot’ and my view is I dont care, he isn’t durable anymore so it doesnt matter. We might as well be debating whether Cie Grant is woke or a patriot etc.

Dang Bako, I had to look up Cie Grant.

Had no idea who he was ... and was drafted by the Saints

Anyways, when does training camp start again

In all fairness, he was a forgettable pick.

New Orleans 2003 Draft picks

Rd 1 Jonathan Sullivan

Rd 2 Jon Stinchcomb
Rd 3 Cie Grant
Rd 4 Montrae Holland
Rd 5 Melvin Williams
Rd 6 Kareem Kelly
Rd 7 Talman Gardner

To be fair, outside of Stinchcomb that entire 03 draft was straight trash can material

Rumor has it, Haslett had his kids input on most of those picks

I kid, I kid.

But, for some reason that name stuck with me. Maybe he's the only Cie out there.
