Saints Fan Sues Team over Protests During National Anthem

Lee Dragna, a New Orleans Saints season ticket holder, has filed a lawsuit asking the team for a refund of his tickets plus attorney fees because of his displeasure with protests during the national anthem.

The suit, obtained by ESPN.com's Mike Triplett, says the Saints' Week 3 protest and other players kneeling for the anthem has ruined his enjoyment of the game. He said he has not been to a Saints home game since Week 2.

New Orleans' Week 3 protest, which was part of a leaguewide movement following comments made by President Donald Trump, came during a road matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
