Saints players say they were denied entry to London club for being 'too urban'
Overseas for a trip looking ahead to an International Series game to be played next season, a group of New Orleans Saints players say they were denied entry into a London club for being "too urban."
Running back Mark Ingram detailed the incident at Cirque Le Soir, where he indicated reservations had been made, in a series of tweets posted Monday evening.

Ingram went on to explain that the rest of the trip has been a particularly positive experience, and that the players haven't experienced an incident similar to what was encountered at Cirque Le Soir.
