Sean Payton wants change after Will Smith's death: 'I hate guns'
Not many NFL coaches will speak out about social issues, but New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton didn't hold back his thoughts about guns after Will Smith's death.
Smith, a former New Orleans Saints defensive end and captain, was shot and killed Saturday night in an alleged road rage incident. In an interview with USA Today's Jarrett Bell, Payton made it clear that he wants more gun control. Bell wrote that Payton is in favor of banning guns altogether.
“Two hundred years from now, they’re going to look back and say, ‘What was that madness about?’“ Payton said. “The idea that we need them to fend off intruders … people are more apt to draw them (in other situations). That’s some silly stuff we’re hanging onto.”
Payton said "I hate guns" in the interview, and also discussed the violence problem in New Orleans, saying "Our city is broken."
“It’s like our big little secret,” Payton said. “They don’t want to kill tourism. But right now, it’s like the Wild, Wild West here.”
