The New Orleans Saints sent a perfect tweet after the controversy at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
Maximum Security crossed the finish line first at the triple crown race, but Country House, who finished second, filed an immediate objection, believing a foul was committed on the final turn.
The stewards spent over 15 minutes reviewing video of the race to determine whether a foul was committed and decided to disqualify Maximum Security, giving the win to Country House, who crossed the finish line second.
The Saints saw it all unfolding and sent a simple tweet with an emoji of a monocle:

The tweet was incredibly fitting given what happened in the NFC Championship Game. The officials blew a huge call that essentially cost the Saints the win and a Super Bowl berth. The Los Angeles Rams ended up winning the game in overtime and going to the Super Bowl.
Seeing officials review a foul and change the outcome of an event based on what transpired is something the Saints wished had happened in their game.
