As Meg pointed out above, Saints fans would be pissed about Payton moving with or without New Orleans. Being "all in" isn't so much about recovery as it is about establishing tangible connections with the community.

By moving, Payton has publicly severed part of his connection to the city (and as I said, that's his choice to make, so no judgment here) and THAT'S what people are upset about.

We want our sports figures to be like us and to love our city as much as we do.

I knew when this butthole pulled from his ass "The Victim Card" on New Orleans, with Katrina as the Queen of Hearts no less, that he is incapable of understanding our feelings for the Saints and Coach Payton Post-Corps Flood. He still thinks of New Orleans as a "Victim of a Natural Disaster" rather than the Survivor of a Corps of Engineers Crime, to wit: the Federal Flood of 8/29/05.

So many of these pundit mfkrs use Katrina as just another excuse to tell the country how much they hate New Orleans.
