Anyone want to guess about which rule(s) a flag of that size violates?

Was a **** move for security to deface it, however I’d wager they were approached multiple times about putting it away and didn’t listen before it was confiscated.

It’s wonderful they decided to make a game, but spending a lot of money on flights, hotel rooms, and game tickets traveling as an international fan doesn’t grant anyone additional liberties to ruin neighboring fans gameday experiences as well. I know I wouldn’t want to be sitting (or even standing) behind that flag when it’s being held up.

Some idiot in security probably thought it had something to do with any of several countries at war right now. Probably couldn’t pick Ukraine or Israel on a map.

I’d be willing to bet it was someone in security who thought it was the confederate flag. Which is just as ignorant. I’d be willing to buy one and show it in my section for the next home game, hopefully the Brit fans would see it on TV.

That's what it comes down to. Were they asked to put it away and they disregarded the warning or did security just take it without warning. Either way, no need to damage the flag at all.

Okay so when do we get to learn the whole story?

I doubt the mean ol’ security guard just randomly grabbed this flag out of the blue then cut it down the middle for no reason whatsoever.

Not to say there is necessarily a justifiable reason for this behavior; I’m just saying there has to be more to it than this that would make the victims not look like innocent damsels in distress.

Destroying it went way too far.

NICE LOOKING BANNER.

The sad thing is that l am betting those fans wish they had chosen another team
Not a good look for NOLA at all here

 

[efil4stnias]

Ohhh lawd there would be some really mad US fans if they had to sit thru something like this

 

[Clintonrebel]

Might be fun to see several hundred little black and gold Union Jacks with a Fleur-de-lis on TV for the Atlanta game.

 

[DJ1BigTymer]

I would be livid. This is so wrong on so many levels. The flag is awesome when you see it. To have security take it and slash it down the middle warrants a firing. This Brit spent thousands to fly over to show support for the Saints the past two home games. This doesn't look good for the Superdome and the way it's run.

Great looking flag!

That's some 'banner-happy' people over there.
I guess they are just used to it.
