A Slidell-based Carnival krewe has uninvited a pair of New Orleans Saints players to serve as grand marshals for the krewe's 2018 parade after the players participated in a protest during the national anthem prior to Sunday's (Sept. 24) game, WVUE-Fox 8 reports.
The Krewe of Poseidon took back invites to players Kenny Vaccaro and Alex Okafor, who had already agreed to serve as grand marshals, after they sat during the anthem in Charlotte, according to the news station.
Vaccaro and Okafor were among 10 Saints and 150 professional football players around the National Football League who refused to stand for the national anthem Sunday. Four other players also stood in solidarity near the 10 Saints players as they sat during the anthem.

Good.
Shun them and let them know if they hate this country they can leave.

Vaccaro and Okafor
I have been a Saints fan since I was about 6 years old.
My grandfather was in the Charlie’s Saints Marching Club about a million years ago.
He marched around dressed like a clown with a big paper mache horse strapped on with a pair of suspenders after all their losing games.
He died before ever seeing them get to the post season.
I remember watching the 2009 Super Bowl with his ghost.
We were happy that day. Real happy!
We are no longer Saints fans.
We no longer watch the NFL.
God bless America.
Well I say, “If they take a knee, just give’em the FINGER!!”
