You want to put exactly what the emails are allegedly about in the OP?

You know, the Saints helping with PR damage control for the Archdiocese of New Orleans because of the sexual abuse of minors.

Hmm, which person involved with the Saints organization would have the power and be stupid enough to involve the Saints in this mess?

Perhaps a former secretary and interior decorator who has been married three times and finagled billions out of the third marriage? A person who started the relationship that resulted in that 3rd marriage at the funeral of her future husband's wife? A person who has been the subject of 20 civil lawsuits over a 13 year period, beginning in 1987, for multiple reasons. A person once arrested and charged with theft of furniture from a client? A person who had a history of federal and state tax liens?

I would note that I am no fan of the family she fought against to maintain control of the Saints but I also believe there were no good guys in that mess.

My guess:

Gayle Benson pledging contributions to the Archdiocese of New Orleans to cover operational cost and of the list of expenses were defense attorney fees. And in the emails Gayle probably got a little too friendly with one of her friends at the Archdiocese. Something to the affect of how much of a bitch Rita LeBlanc is.

quote:

Attorneys for the men suing the church say “multiple” Saints personnel, including Senior Vice President of Communications Greg Bensel, used their team email to advise church officials on “messaging” and how to soften the impact of the archdiocese’s release of a list of clergy members “credibly accused” of sexual abuse.


If this is all it is, it sounds like a big nothing.

Hard to tell from the article if there’s more to it or not though.

Gayle could be forced to sell the team if directly involved in covering up child abuse

Not sure why the archdiocese would be seeking PR advice from the Saints, but IF this is limited to people in the saints organization providing advice on strictly cosmetic concerns - say how do we make the optics of this huge embarrassing scandal less awful - then that's not that big of a deal. That's what PR exists for. If there was any role in trying to conceal abuse... well thats another matter and anyone involved woudl have to go.

It would be interesting to read the emails between the NFL and all of the NFL public relations firms.

PR firms have many clients.

I wonder if any NFL PR firms are involved in this New Orleans case.

I swear it's always something with this fricking team.

Hearing Goodell and the league are monitoring the situation and depending on what is in the emails, Gayle may be forced out.

Minneapolis Miracle and uncalled PI were karmic actions from the football gods.

Another pervert used the Catholic church to hide the fact that he likes to touch little boys on the pee pee.

The Saints helped cover the pervert up

Disgusting

This is what the prelacy of the Roman Catholic Church gives you. It's not a false church, but it is certainly impure, bordering on corrupt.
