I'm lucky that my parents told me that everyone is created equal and not to pass judgement because of skin color. I just wish that could be reciprocated is all.

I mentioned "letters" because someone did earlier in the thread. It most certainly wasn't via letter because it takes more than one day to receive one these days. It was most likely via Twitter. And you need to check out more videos or on other sources. There were quite a number of whites right there in the middle of all the looting and burning. I know that in our local protests the breakdown was almost 50-50 black and white. I also read recently that online death threats are far more common from white individuals than blacks. There is a cultural significance to that. I'll try to find the source, but it was in passing a couple of days ago. Can't remember where. This type of threat seems par for the course from Antifa, as well. If it was truly serious. Most likely Dwayne from his mom's basement.

Edit: Don't count out white women, either.

I don't think what Drew said was even that bad. I just think his timing was especially horrible because people are being incredibly irrational right now. Then again, I think the world has been broken as **** for a while and we're headed for a complete societal collapse. Too much debt, too much money printing, artificially low interest rates, too much fed insanity in general, too much insanity on different social justice issues, too much right wing bravado acting like every single thing Trump does gold, too much left wing stupidity, acting like everything Trump does is satanic. It began before Trump, it'll probably become worse after Trump. Just the polarization in general, I think we are in horrible shape. Then you throw the coronavirus on top of it and it's like nuking a leper colony

Those tracking the death threats might want to start in Atlanta.
For some reason some of the Dirty Bird Fans don't like the Saints. (ya think)
I'm guessing they are loving all this turmoil and would like nothing more than to fan the flames.

Motive? Possibly. See previous post.

The aforementioned players' behavior of dragging their differences out in the open in a cancel culture attack is a huge problem, no matter how you spin it and should be equally condemned...

A problem for you personally, I can see. To myself, and most likely most others, is just that, a problem between them that has been since resolved.

But, wait, what is that "cancel culture attack"? I seriously don't understand that description.

As for dragging differences out in the open ... welcome to the modern world of social media. Everyone drags everything these days out into the open. LOL

Your attempt and logic to make this attempt personal for me is about as productive as two monkeys f*cking a basketball...

It will be all too evident that there's a problem in the presumptive, coming season...

Your choice to have blind faith that all is right is just that your choice; human experience and condition dictates that this is not over and all parties will have more strain on them to be successful...

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.

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