Saints players attend Kenner rally protesting Nike ban: report

Saints players arrived to a rally in Kenner organized to protest Mayor Ben Zahn's decision to ban the purchase of Nike products by the city's recreational facilities, according to social media reports by WDSU.

Cam Jordan and Terron Armstead arrived to the "Unity in Community" rally at Susan Park Playground Monday afternoon, which was organized as a "peaceful protest" of the widely-circulated memo banning Kenner's recreation booster clubs from purchasing Nike gear.

"We needed to show up to understand how the people feel about this [decision]," said Jordan, an 8-year Saints defensive end who said he often plays pick up sports at the facilities.
