Payton is legit. He's liberal AF.I don't usually like to buy into the typical boilerplate team FO/billionaire white owner public statements in situations like this... but I think Payton here and Gayle's statement with the Pelicans are as on-point and classy as you could hope or expect from such parties. The incredulous MAGA replies to Sean's tweets just reinforces that feeling to me
Gayle...eh. I can tell you firsthand the Saints higher ups are your typical white wealthy people. I don't want to say racist, but definitely privileged and unaware of the plight of blacks. That Payton has become so vocal in recent years legit surprises me lol.
For example, Tom damn sure was stable enough to remark none of his players on the Saints or Pelicans had better kneel for the anthem. It never became an issue because none of our players wanted to protest in that way, but had it did...
So idk if Gayle changed overnight (and I'd like to think and hope some white people are starting to understand racial equality more) or if she's just really good at PR.
