THIS IS ORIGINALLY FROM A SATIRE SITE. MEA CULPA.

But what a nice fantasy it was.

Politicnewsusa:

[…] Both the pilot and co-pilot of the Boeing 737 the Saints use to travel are combat-hardened American heroes. They flew sorties over Baghdad with Saddam’s best weapons firing back. They fought with their lives for your freedom and watched many of their friends die. Today they took a stand for those brave souls:

 

“We couldn’t be a party to the disrespect. We waited until we were cleared and last off the runway for the night , walked out of the cockpit, took a knee and deplaned. They’re not going anywhere until tomorrow.”
Looks like the group of thugs should have just considered themselves lucky they’re allowed to make millions for playing a game and stood with respect like they’re told to do in the league rulebook.

No idea if this is a true report or not. But lets hope like hell it is.

Sauce, goose, gander.

How much would we each pay to see these spoiled rotten athletes do the same thing in Turkey, Iran or Saudi Arabia to their flag. I would quite enjoy watching the trials. Less so the executions.
