Just another classless move in a long history of classless moves by the FAILCONS. Doesn't surprise me a bit. Wonder what Bobby thinks about that.

Why the hell would we let our division rival use our logo on a statue of a humiliating play on our part?

Because it happened, and denial doesn't change the past.

Denial over the domination by the Saints over the Falclowns since '06?!

Looks like we have won 10 out of the last 12...

Well, the event portrayed in that statue is as much a part of your team's recent history as it is our team's, so the fact that you seem hesitant to want to face the memory of that said event does make feel that you are in denial of the fact that it took place or that you would like it to never have taken place.

Personally, I'm totally OK with the statue having an anonymous opposing punter for the reason I already mentioned, and you are certainly entitled to your opinion on the matter.

The fact y'all didn't want us to use the logo is your perogative. But it's obvious by your statement that you and the rest of your fanbase just don't get it. It's more than a play in a game or a heated rivalry. Aside from the meaning to the city it is there to bring awareness to a fatal disease that Gleason is suffering from and will ultimately end his life way before his time. Besides, I wouldn't want the Superdome or the city of New Orleans to be defiled by a falcons logo anywhere on the property.

At least you understand what humiliation is........get used to it!!!
I will say this, so far you have shown more class than any other Falcon fan that comes here. Usually they come trolling here just to pick a fight.

Oh don't get me started again. I've already gone on one rant today about that no count team and their idiotic fans because of what they were saying about the statue. So to keep my blood pressure down I've copied what I already said to and about their fans. Now it can be directed to the organization, term used very lightly, as well as their fans.

"Just one more example of why the Falcon fans are the worst, most sports uneducated, bandwagon, heartless fans on the face of the planet. I know all teams have their idiots who are without even a sense of moral conscience but the falcon fans take it to a whole new level and always have. This statue is NOT about them. It is a memorial and a tribute to a city rising from the ashes, or water if you will, and a monument bringing awareness to a disease that is so dibilitating there is no cure and is fatal. I think the majority of us on here and in WhoDat nation understand that sometimes it goes beyond a game and a hated rivalry. The same can be said for most if not all other sports fans. But falcon fans, you can piss off because you just don't get it!!! And for the one who said they hope they hit Drew so hard he vomits all over, well Brees will carve up your so-called team in between heaves. Let me quit before I get upset. "
