In the wake of the murder of his former player, defensive end Will Smith, this weekend, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton issued a challenge to Black Lives Matter, to stand-up and protest black-on-black violence, the same way they protest white-on-black violence.
Actually, hes not. That would be helpful. Instead, hes calling for a gun ban.
In a USA Today Sports article, Payton let fly:

LOL! News hit too close to home,eh? Let him-and the other football fools this city worships keep walking the streets of N.O. at night! Let’em go to the fancy restaurants without their ARMED bodyguards. Let’em hide behind their gated, walled Garden District mansions believing they are safe! Local thug got one of them. Other thugs can get more. It’s a matter of time. Reality won in the Fantasy=vs=Reality New Orleans ‘experience’. Considering football draws it’s ‘talent’ primarily from the thug culture perhaps Payton should start his ‘anti-gun,anti-violence crusade in his locker room. It evidently hurts like hell to face the fact that ‘special’ people like his football goons aren’t any safer in the criminal owned streets than anyone else.
Let’s talk about player bounties- they were ok because your Saints weren’t using guns on the field?
The liberals that hate guns also hate football. Payton made a very dumb move here considering all the concussion hysteria.
Quote:
“......The NFL is beginning to be tedious.”
The NFL is joining Fox News and the Republican Party as things I used to like.
I understand that this will evoke strong reaction[s] from those whom football coaches are their gods and worship the same. But so be it. Good men died in terrible ways for the right to bear arms and the right to defend one" self and family.
How much white on black violence is there?
Virtually none
He part of a tiny tiny minority!
And with 7,682,141 checks done already this year, 2016 is expected to break another annual sales record.

You’re right
I shot my first deer in Tensas parish
Bagged a few splittails when I was a bit older in New Orleans and BR
Each day, I’m increasingly glad that I excised the NFL from my life 20+ years ago.
Big angry BLACK shoots another BLACK after a hit and run.
“Guns are bad.”
Using that logic:
Blacks should not own cars.
Blacks should not be able to drive.
If these rules were enforced this shooting would not have occurred.
Sean Payton is a complete MORON.
As a matter of fact, there’s a good question of whether the “traffic accident” that allegedly started the atrocity was an accident or a deliberate rear ending used intentionally to stop Smith’s car so the killer, who had a possible motive for murdering Smith, was able to get a shot at him.
Equally important, the HFL, by including the BLM crap, was impliedly supporting murderous violence against law abiding blacks by black criminals, the thing that killed Mr. Smith.
Another millionaire looking down his nose at us little folk who like to think the Constitution means something.
I, on the other hand, have always suspected he is a flaming a-hole. Looks like I was correct.
I’ve grown fond of your historical perspective in today’s insane world.
LOL!
Payton is still an idiot. There many instruments one can use to murder. How about blaming the perpetrator.
Have you seen the video? More like a BUMP and run. Doubt there was a scratch on the Hummer, but this is about short tempered,go-for-the gun types who will kill with little or no provocation. It could just as well have been some poor unknown schmuck tapping the perps tank who got executed for it. Happens every day. Looks like the perp intentionally stopped short too, forced a collision with a ‘rich guy’s car. The plan was probably to rob as soon as the ‘hit and run’ guy stopped .Common practice.Perp was a career criminal( should he have had a gun?);but victim didn’t stop, daring to further ‘disrespect’ the thug.Not saying the football goon wasn’t just as ready to go for a gun-he might have been when faced with common street thug-but seeing as how he was shot in the back, he was no match for the street criminal. Football makes this a ‘big deal’- happens every day on the streets of New Orleans. Same story, different names.
Payton can help to stop the madness by lobbying to disarm all the stadium guards.
And his own players.
