The mass player protest before American professional sports matches has taken a new twist with a fan suing his NFL team for ruining the entertainment.
Lee Dragna is taking the New Orleans Saints to court saying he would not have bought season tickets for his family had he known the
players would use games "as a platform for protests".
The Saints have yet to comment but a source gave a strongly worded response saying the club was "taking this very seriously, and this fan best have his facts in order" ESPN reported.
"The Saints will come back at this fan who has brought forth incorrect information in his statement with everything to defend the team, organisation and players," the source is claimed to have said.
The protests, started by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, have seen players taking a knee during the anthem in an effort to highlight social inequality and police brutality.
