Because if that's the case the Saints need to leave the state. Call you Congressman and take action.

I don't think you understand how football fans work.

The NFL welfare should be cut off for other reasons though.

Are the Saints still in business and still in New Orleans?

If so, then they are still being subsidized by the State.

The Saints are the biggest and most blatant example in the four major sports of a corporate "welfare queen."

Dallas Tiger this is my point. Mitch and New Orleans need the Saints and if you threaten this maybe he stops.

Then why do you care about statues and a mayor in New Orleans?

If it is an industry in New Orleans, chances are Louisiana taxpayers are subsidizing much of it.

It's none of your business...their community, their statues, their prerogative.

I pay Louisiana taxes too.

If your looking at my profile. I am in Va. But it's my second home. I am a resident of Louisiana. I have a house in Monroe too.
