Dudes and dudettes, what is going to be the outcome of this whole debacle? We have been accused, tried and punished all in the last 3-4 months for crimes we did not commit. We all know the punishments do not fit the crime. We all know we had a pay for performance program. We all know that we have been accused and punished for having a pay to injure program.
I have been a member on Saintsreport.com for over 8 years and in that time i have met some of the most intelligent, loyal and downright amazing people on here. But during those 8 years i can never remember a subject of anything saints related ever literally filling up the entire SuperForum with threads of the same basic subject. Bountygate. Also the people i have met on here are sometimes very opinionated about certain subjects and i never see a subject that literally everybody agrees on. Hell even the Drew Brees threads have arguments in them. But this Bountygate thing has rallied us together. We are all in agreeance with everything. It consumes us. The desire to seek the truth. The desire to clear our names of these ridiculously false accusations.
As a die hard Saints fan of over 25 years i feel like i know this team. I feel like i am a part of this team. I am really starting to get offended by Roger Goodell and the NFL myself. It is almost as if they are attempting to insult our intelligence. Do they think we are dumb? Do they think we will believe their lies? We know this team far better than any of them. How dare they come into our house, make false accusations about us, punish us, and then have the nerve to not show us why they punished us, and then insult our intelligence by using the media to guide the general public against us.
But the thing is, they have had an ulterior motive all along. They are not going to back down from their accusations. They stand by what they said and refuse to budge from their stance. They have too much to lose if they were to give up now. Goodell will continue to abuse his power in this case. If it goes to court, it goes to court. But the lawsuit from this is far less than the lawsuits from 2000 former players. They are willing to sacrifice their pride, dignity and fairness for this case because even if they lose this case it would still give them a boost in their case against the former players. They could just say they were wrong about us but they still made their point that bounties are not tolerated.
So where am i going with this? Oh yeah i forgot.. My point is that i believe this injustice will continue all the way until it goes to court. But the damage will already be done to us. The players suspensions will be upheld. Nothing will change the NFL's stance. No matter how much of their evidence is examined and found to be a joke. No matter how many people bash Goodell and the NFL, it wont matter. They still have an ulterior motive. They dont care about us at all. They dont care what we think. If we take them to court, oh well. This lawsuit is nothing to them.
My friends and fellow who dats, its not just the Saints organization who has been railroaded. The entire Who Dat Nation has been insulted and treated unfairly and unjustly. I am thankful to be around people like you all who have fought and stood up for what is right. Be proud Saints fans. Stand tall and never change who we are. We fight for what is right and we fight for the Black & Gold. We are the Who Dat Nation. Nobody will ever take that away from us.
