Hey Gatti - the LA Saints?
NEW ORLEANS - The Washington Post reports that the NFL will consider relocating the Saints to Los Angeles if New Orleans is unable to recover from Hurricane Katrina.
On Wednesday, New Orleans' two major league sports teams made moves to calm fears about their future in the city.
Saints owner Tom Benson published a full-page letter in area newspapers and also sent it by e-mail to season-ticket holders on Wednesday, the same day Saints officials announced they would be donating more than $500,000 to New Orleans-area charities.
The bold-faced introduction to Benson’s letter read: “Tom Benson wants to return to New Orleans.”
“After reviewing the reports about our team and the abundance of wide-sweeping negative media commentary and columns, I offer this: No decision has been made about the future of the team,” the letter said. “We have continued to operate and represent the city and fans of New Orleans. When the time is right and the factors that are yet unresolved are resolved, a decision of the future of the team will be made.”
