For the second week in a row, New York Giants fans chartered a plane and hung a banner over MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, before kickoff.
Before the Week 14 loss to the New Orleans Saints, a protest banner read “Mr. Saints.” Enough is enough Mara — (please) fix this dumpster fire!”
A brand new banner read “Mr. Ravens” ahead of Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. Enough Mara — we won’t stop until you fire everyone! ”
Planes carrying banners returned to MetLife Stadium.

In 1978, Giants fans raised banners over the stadium in a plane protest that led to mass shootings and an overhaul backed by the NFL. It was 48 years before fans did it again, but now there are just seven days between protests.
After Giants players learned of the banner last week, they ridiculed the protests and derided fans as a waste of money.
The Giants only have one home game left this season, against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17, but they will undoubtedly be favorites to win once again.
Given that the Giants are unlikely to fire general manager Joe Schon and head coach Brian Daboll for some time now, we could see at least one more banner fluttering at MetLife Stadium this season. It is expected that.
