If Hurricanne Katrina wasn't enough for the residents in New Orleans, accorrding to ESPN, Saints owner Tom Benson want's to move his team to San Antonio for good. 550 miles away from New Orleans. He wanted a new stadium before as his lease at the Louisiana Superdome expired this season anyways. New Orleans is a great NFL market and if the NFL let's him get away with this it will be a travesty.
New Orleans Saints may leave town for good now!

Not like Texas needs another football team.
Where will they play this year? San Antonio then?
Can't see ticket sales being too good in NO for some time....

I don't think the NFL would have any problem with having a team in the San Antonio area. The guy that used to own the Minnesota Vikings (Red somebody?) kept threatening to move the team to San Antonio almost from the time he took over the franchise. It's a larger market than New Orleans population-wise and the thought of Texas supporting three NFL teams isn't a stretch at all, considering how football mad Texans in general seem to be. If the Saints do wind up in San Antonio for the 2005 season, it seems very unlikely to me that they'd ever return to New Orleans.
this is just another rich cock-sucking bastard who is using human misery to enrich himself further ... i hope he rots in hell with the rest of them.scott231 said:
and its not about football, its about timing ... its about making threats, and about taking public money that could build a proper levy to stop flooding and using it to help some rich fuck build a football stadium?
these people make me puke.
