Nonetheless, for a team that claims to feed off of its fans, it'll be hard to draw on that strength when players choose divisive ways on social media to resolve differences...

Especially when those issues alienate most fans as the numbers bear'd that out before and will do so again...

There's where you are missing the point. The players did not choose to resolve differences on social media. Their difference were simply exposed on social media. Those differences were resolved in private. I expect that you are believing the players are lying when they have all said those differences have, indeed, been resolved. If they are telling the truth, and why wouldn't they, why would there be a problem in the coming season? That makes no sense. Quite the contrary, to me it sounds like they are on the same page which should build inner strength, instead.

The Saints, having addressed these issues already, should be a step ahead of the rest of the league which face all the same burdens including less than exuberant fans. Especially since the stands may be only 25% filled.

Here's my problem with it. Their differences were exposed on social media which ignited a fire in public but their so called resolution was done in private which does not put out the public fire. If you start the fire in public, put the damn thing out in public.

I'm not sure they can do much more in public than announce that they have talked everything through and there is no longer any issue. They have done this. The problem is that the media doesn't get as many "clicks" sharing the reconciliation as they do the initial disagreement.

The fire is out as far as the involved parties are concerned, but the media would rather try to keep it going. It is just like what Shaq told them in their team meeting ...

"Don't let the media divide you. Don't let social media divide you."

That's where you're in denial my friend, because that's exactly what happened...

I understand the deep desire for transparency but the issue that some people cant handle the truth presents the potential to make something is outside of logical proportion even bigger.

When a topic is being tried in the court of public opinion and it gets too far gone, the first thing the negotiations generally address is getting things back under control.

Example: Trying to calm your significant other down in an argument by letting them see what you are thinking will not end well or bring you closer to peace.

No. Not at all. It was resolved in private. It was brought to light in public. You can't resolve anything over social media.

Exactly. Why the need to actually see the players hug and kiss after watching their in depth conversation which resulted in an understanding? Is that what people are wanting? Brees and every teammate involved has stated that everything is cool now after their private conversations. Why isn't that enough? I don't get it. What more do they need to do? And why should they care what others think anyway as long as they know they are good?

Again, "social media" can be cancerous at times.

Absolutely. Therefore the value in speaking directly with the other individual. That's how things are successfully resolved.
