“[The exception is] the Week Three Game at Carolina when a few of our players did sit,”

The “exception” will do it every time. NFL contract rules are meant to be obeyed, not broken.

The Saints were unable to use this vet to hide behind.

Typical, NFL.

Veteran awards, jet flyovers, military color guards, etc are all nothing but marketing schmaltz to the NFL.
Fake.

They should be praising him for his courageous exercise of free speech to protest injustice. Oh, I forgot, that only applies to leftist protests.

Adults know that the exceptions matter greatly in life. The one day you robbed the bank was an exception...

A previous thread linked to an article that quoted both. The vet was much more gracious in declining than the Saints were in their reply, using the same tired excuse of “divisiveness.”

And the fans have loved it and barked for more, like trained seals.

[exceptions matter greatly in life]

A wrong mistake can sink a business.

“The Saints were unable to use this vet to hide behind.”

Exactly. They were attempting to use him to cover for their bad acts. Glad he took the stand he did.

Maybe the “Saints” should put a bounty on his head? They’ve done so before.

Disappointing? I find the veteran INSPIRING.

The disappointing factor is the feckless, bigoted, and anti-American NFL.

I’d really like to see the military and other institutions disassociate themselves with the NFL. CMDR Wells’ action was a great first step.
