    If the moment of silence was for a police officer, it was probably deliberate.

    People still watch the NFL? I thought they were out of business by now.

    Oh, no, it takes a lot of arrows to shoot down a giant. They're hurting but they are still around for now.

    This particular incident, I believe Sean Payton and Drew Brees that the players couldn't hear the call for the moment of silence and the fans booed as they were kneeling. A black slain police officer, yet another PR nightmare for the NFL:

    Sean Payton, Drew Brees: 'Misunderstanding' when fans booed during moment of silence

    then the Saints won the game - never a fan of them, Sean is a big gun control advocate, the same guy whose team paid bonuses when they would seriously injure an opponent.

    I would kneel in prayer for such a hero killed. To kneel in protest of "oppression by cops" deserves a "boo". Or a brickbat.
