Benson could take an example from the Rooney family in Pittsburg - they care about thier community and the fans - Benson never has. The Saints have a loyal base of fans who want the team to succeed, but Benson just wants to line his pockets. He would fit right in with all of the crooked politicians in my adopted home of New Orleans.

Benson is a complete scumbag. The city would be better without him.

While the New Orleans Saints
believe me I would love the state politicians to actually make the levees capable of handling the major storms like we just had - the Army Corps of Engineers has tried to them to do just that for years, but as is the norm in Louisiana politics, they chose to line thier pockets and continue the tradition of corruption that has been prevalent in the state (and New Orleans) for years. My friends and I are all from St. Bernard Parish, and we all lost our homes because of the inadequate levee system. I agree the money should be spent on the rebuilding of the city and the levees, but the fans of the Saints would like to keep thier team, no matter how terrible they are. It at least gives them something to take thier minds off of the total destruction we all suffered along the Gulf Coast. enson could certain afford to help out in this effort, and show the fans he cares by not just keeping the team in New Orleans, but by donating some of the large amounts of money he has made from the city and the fans, to the relief effort. Nicholas Cage donated 1 million out of his own pocket, and he only lives in the city part time, Benson, to my knowledge, has done nothing other than shop his team around for a new home. B
