They can suck more than that.... but come to think of it, I wish some past Saints players found offense to it and would have never played for us.

Here you go; straight from Wikipedia:

The fleur-de-lis or fleur-de-lys (plural: fleurs-de-lis)[pron 1] is a stylized lily (in French, fleur means "flower", and lis means "lily") or iris that is used as a decorative design or symbol. It may be "at one and the same time, religious, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic", especially in French heraldry.[4]

EDIT: I just noticed Fleur was misspelled

Oh you've got to be kidding me. I thought this was going to be a joke when I clicked on it. I don't know how anything could surprise me anymore, but this managed to.

Get this through your self-pitying heads, people. Just because some symbol or some phrase, or some tool or WHATEVER may have been used, or meant, for something bad a couple centuries ago doesn't mean it is some universally evil thing.

Why don't we just get rid of prisons so all the people who were falsely imprisoned in the past won't have to be reminded... Even though they're not alive anymore. We sure wouldn't want their ancestors to be offended either. This is ridiculous.

Might as well haul down Old Glory; she was flying over America during slavery times a helluva lot longer than the Stars & Bars!

Next we will have to get rid of the Constitution and Bill of Rights because they were written by white slaves owners!

The camel has officially gotten its nose under the tent!

The Stars and Bars is not the rebel/confederate flag. The stars and bars flag was the first official flag of the Confederate States of America. It was later changed because it looked too much like the American (Union) flag. The stars and bars flag looks absolutely nothing remotely like the Rebel flag people are so offended by today. Most of the people who argue that the stars and bars confederate flag is racist And most of the people who argue that it is history have no idea what the flag even looks like.
