Why is the scout logo sideways?

Its a standard fleur-de-lis, a historic French symbol. Its used all over the world for much more than just the boy scouts.

"We'll be loyal scouts" is the first thing I thought of.

Showing that Saints pride.

Pride in an organization with a long history of paying bounties to intentionally injure people and helping the Catholic Church cover up repeated molestations of children. What a great thing to be proud of!

Pretty sure they were talking about the Third Street Saints (from the Saints Row games), but honestly your point still stands.

Ah, I know the game, but due to my own interests think of the NFL franchise way more readily

I’m from Louisiana. I was living in Japan at the time and… (“homesick” isn’t quite the right word. I would never ever want to live there again. Anyways…) I wanted something to remind me of my roots. I had a tattoo artist want to try a white tattoo on a white person and I was down to clown. I’m not trying to celebrate any kinds of molestation or injuring folks.

I started typing a long response about how you're wrong, but I'll leave it at that. You're just wrong.

Actually, I'm right, but feel free to ignore history and lie to yourself. The southern states and their lack of education are famous for that.

Your comments are two separate incidents. One is done inside the organization and was done by others every where in the past. Coach's comments about rodger sent him over the edge to go after the saints organization still hasn't fixed the bounty system that's still in place you can see it every Sunday. Then your talking about the saints owner who is rich and donated to the church.

Justifications for abhorrent actions. I'm sure you think slavery was good for black people too.
