IF it wasn't Christian prayer if it was something Buddhist or Hindu or whatever, would you still be ok with it? If the argument is "a disrruption of the entertainment value" then the religion is the same thing. |

I also asked you, who is preaching to you? When a player says a prayer, is that in your face? Is it directed at anyone in particular? It is not a protest, and it is not done as a disruption. And what do you mean "don't pull" the as a Christian statement? What exactly am I pulling by simply stating my faith? And if you are, as you say, also a Christian, then why are you talking about not wanting to be preached to? What exactly is it that you stand for, then? |

It might be in public, but it's not being done at an inappropriate time, and it's not directed at any "cause". So comparing that with the protests makes no sense.
I don't like the way players bleach their hair and act like they won the super bowl every time they make a big hit after giving up a 15 yard run, but I don't feel disrespected by it, nor do I feel it is championing a false narrative. |

Re: Saints fans sues over protests
Just saw this article. Just posting what is being written.
Dip**** Saints Fan Sues Team Over Anthem Protests A Saints fan named Lee Dragna, who appears to be a real dumbass, has filed a lawsuit against the team seeking a refund for his season tickets. He wants the refund because his ability to enjoy Saints games has been ruined by the NFL’s anthem protests. In his suit, Dragna cites a Week 2 home game against the Patriots, at which he claims a number of Saints players didn’t come onto the field until after the anthem, causing an uproar near his seats. Because of this clearly traumatizing experience, Dragna claims, he hasn’t attended a home game since. The suit goes on to claim that Dragna would have never purchased his season tickets in the first place if he had known “Saints football players would use Saints football games as a platform for protests.” Dragna believes he is entitled to a refund because he purchased his season tickets for “entertainment and intellectual enjoyment,” and the protests got in the way of that. The stupidest thing about this lawsuit, aside from the fact that it exists, is that Saints players never even protested during the anthem at a home game. The only time any players sat for the national anthem was before their Week 3 game against the Panthers, which was a road game. Saints running back Mark Ingram helpfully pointed this out yesterday: Between this guy and the dingus who refused to accept an award from the team, Saints fans are quickly becoming the worst. |

Re: Saints fans sues over protests
This is a discussion board where we discuss football. A football field is for football not some players political agendas. Damn folks! How do you not follow that? This is my time not theirs. They are the product on the field.
