The city of New Orleans in still suffering from the hurricane that wiped away many of their lives. In an article at espn.com it discusses the feelings of New Orleans Saints fans after watching their team loose the NFC Championship.
One citizen of the New Orleans area made a comment that stands out. Yes they are upset that the team lost but their true feeling show through.
"I'm going to the airport," he announced. "They brought hope to this city
when nobody else could. The mayor sucks. The governor sucks. The legislature
sucks. The president sucks. The only thing that doesn't suck is that team. They
brought hope to this city, and I'm going to the airport."
The town stands by their team. As the city walks the streets standing in the rain, supporting their home team. The team that stood by them through all their tough times. The welcomed home the team by standing outside in the cold night. Sean Payton made a comment in an Associated Press article,
"It was cold and wet, and the reception we received, I know everyone felt
very grateful," he said. "Their resolve and loyalty to this team is
certainly felt throughout this locker-room and the organization."
The team is upset about the loss but the town proven that they are behind their team one hundred percent. Just like the team was behind them through the horrible tragedy that they all suffered.
