Yep, our fine Atlanta airport ramp workers pelt the N.O. Saints team bus as they leave the tarmac. > **[Saints say that bus egged at Atlanta airport](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/8689695/new-orleans-saints-say-bus-egged-atlanta-airport)** > > New Orleans Saints players say their bus was pelted with eggs by airport workers after they touched down in Atlanta.

As a Falcons fan, I don’t see a problem. Maybe the 'aints can start a program where chickens are hurt for a fee. Not sure what you would call such a program though. 😃 ---

Why is this a news story? 😕 The competition between teams has always resulted in fan pranks. Throwing eggs at a rival teams bus seems pretty harmless. I’d strongly suspect that alcohol was involved. 😃 Except in this case it was airport workers. Not very classy but I guess fans aren’t very classy anymore. ---

Sure hope alcohol wasn’t involved. And that’s not behavior that should be acceptable while on the job. ---

Bad thing for on-duty airport workers. They should have clocked out first. ---

To be fair, they should have waited until the chickens laid the eggs. ---

Really? Death in the game room for a thread about aviation?
