Fans Support Rally at Championship Square?

This would make us look ignorant. Our organization had every chance to prevent this and they didn't do it. I get being mad at Goodell, I really do... But come on guys, get real.

You can be involved for whichever reason suits you. I think it's a good idea to show support for our team. What should we do, hide under a rock?

ChrisXVI · 03-21-2012, 05:41 PM

The people that run our team did this to us.

So what are you saying Chris? We should all become fans of other teams? I've been a Saint too long to just quit. I don't agree with any of this. I like old school, hard hitting, stretcher football. It's wrong by "today's standards".... Not by old school rules.... Not even close....

I agree we need to support our team and our head coach. I've already ordered 3 of these.... Jesus Loves The Saints Who Dat T shirt

Do we live in 1972? Nope, it's 40 years later and what we did was against the rules. I'm not saying become a fan of another team... But don't blindly support the fact that our head coach and GM blatantly ignored Goodell's warnings 2 years ago when they first started this investigation. There's nothing to protest. We fu***d up.

Why? For being realistic?

For accepting what the league is doing to our team as if it is necessary and just. Do you honestly think this would be the response if a large market team was involved?

I understand that Chris, but don't you reallize, that the more we let the league change things, and don't protest, legal or not, it won't be long before the game is so far gone, that none of us are even interested anymore? They are trying to turn the NFL into the CFL, or arena league. I don't watch either one of those, because I am a fan of great, hard hitting defenses. You take away the defense of the 85 Bears, the Niners dynasty's, the Steel Curtain.... and many, many more, and you re-write the history of the game. I don't support these rules, legal or not, and will not, no matter what year it is. We broke the rules, yes, but I still support this team, and honestly found nothing wrong with anything they did. You gotta take a stand at some point, for what you believe in.
