On Monday, four members of the New Orleans Saints attended a rally in Kenner, La. to protest Mayor Ben Zahn's decision to ban booster clubs at all of the city's recreational facilities from purchasing Nike products, according to Hanna Krueger of The Times-Picayune.
Terron Armstead, Chris Banjo, Cameron Jordan and Craig Robertson came to the "Unity in Community" rally in response to a memo dated Sept. 5. In the memo, Zahn says, "all purchases made by any booster club operating at any Kenner Recreational Facility for wearing apparel, shoes, athletic equipment, and/or any athletic product must be approved by the Director of Parks and Recreation," and "Under no circumstances will any Nike product or any product with the Nike logo be purchased for use or delivery at any" of the city's recreational facilities.
