A New Orleans Saints season-ticket holder is suing the team over players protesting during the national anthem, but one protester doesn't seem too worried about the repercussions.
The ticket-holder, Lee Dragna, says kneeling players have made Saints games less enjoyable for him and his family, claiming him and other fans "do not find these protests entertaining," according to USA TODAY Sports' Kevin Spain and A.J. Perez.
"Apparently, these players were following the lead of Colin Kaepernick by disrespecting the flag, the Anthem; the USA and those who have served and are serving the USA in our military," argued Dragna in the lawsuit.
Saints running back Mark Ingram noted Tuesday that Dragna, who said he has only attended the Saints' home opener in Week 2, hasn't been paying attention to the team's protesting, as no protests have occurred on home turf.
The one time we protested an anthem was an away game. After a team meeting we decided to kneel as one BEFORE the anthem was played and STAND united as one DURING the anthem! Good luck dude ✌🏾 https://t.co/28huwGP0Pu

Ingram was one of several players to sit out the anthem on the road against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3, and took part in a team-wide protest the next week in London, where the club kneeled before the anthem and stood during the song.
