Fans booed New Orleans Saints players who knelt before the presentation of the American flag and the singing of the national anthem Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The boos rang down during a moment of silence for fallen NOPD officer Marcus McNeil, who was killed in the line of duty Friday. The fans cheered when the players stood before the anthem, which was performed by former Saintsation Deri Tucker. Sunday's game vs. the Lions was the Saints' first at the Dome since President Trump weighed in on protesting NFL players during a campaign rally in Alabama last month.

Maybe he is too embarrassed now that the world knows the truth about what happened to him in Vegas.
Yeah, but like the Seaturkeys, this is their way to protest about all of the “injustice” without looking like they are protesting.

Been following the Eagles since 1948
Looks like a real breakout year
And it is killing me but I refuse to watch
Bleeping Lurie lets those idiots do the black power salute

You’re right. Similar experiences from a 40% black state
Although contradictory to what folks like to think
Black behavior was better during segregation generally speaking
That ship has however sailed.
Yep - the best "boo" is the one on the way out with no return business in sight....if they stop coming, the players will either straighten up or be unemployed as the cash flow stops.
