The New Orleans Saints suspended wide receiver Michael Thomas for Week 5’s game with the Los Angeles Chargers after an altercation during practice with safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (who also goes by “Ceedy Duce”), and it drew a range of reactions from NFL fans across social media.

It’s understandable that people would be frustrated by this. Thomas hasn’t played since suffering an ankle sprain back in Week 1, and he’s experienced enough to know better than to swing at a teammate (especially when they’ve got their helmet on). His team has a 2-2 record and could have really used his help.

But he and Gardner-Johnson are two of the most competitive guys on the team, and they’ve gotten into scraps before. Hopefully Thomas getting benched sends a strong enough message from Sean Payton to keep tempers from flaring up again later on down the road.
