Vikings And Saints Show The Union A Sign Of Solidarity?
Posted By: SteveRobWhatever 09-10-2010 , 01:00 AM

Any rabid football fan who watched the Vikings/Saints season opener probably noticed that players on both teams walked onto the field after the National Anthem and each held one finger in the air to show the players' solidarity with the NFLPA. Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel described the gesture as "nicely played" but added that the players' unity on the labor front signals "a bad moon rising". Roger Goodell could not have been pleased with the sight before a national viewing audience. No one is currently admitting if this was a gesture solely conceived by the Viking and Saints players or if it was partly planned by the NFLPA. We will have to wait and see if the same thing occurs in other stadiums on Sunday.

I wonder if this kind of thing will be league wide?

I saw on NFL Total Access Drew Brees tell Fran Charles that it was a gesture of solidarity by both teams so there's no debate there.
