Proof is a different standard of evidence then the truth. Many criminals get off for crimes they actually committed due to a lack of proof. That is a standard we chose in our society, but not all societies adhere to this standard. Also not all people equate "not guilty" with "innocent" as you are doing.

By demanding proof you are saying "I don't care about the truth. I just want to know if I can punished for this in a court of law with its higher standard of evidence." This is the same "angle shooting" stance that Payton took when he told his underlings to clean up their act so that they couldn't get caught out on this stuff. He specifically did not say to stop, just to make sure there was no evidence sitting around that could be used against them.

IMO the Saints as an organization is all about "what can we get away with" and that particular brand of ethics is evident in certain Saints fans as well.
