Would you support Tillman Fertitta buying the Saints?

Not at the moment. I would support Todd!

I prefer a native to Louisiana which would be Todd Graves

Gayle is doing well with the Saints in my opinion.

That said, she is not getting any younger.

I’d rather a Louisiana native buy the Saints. So I’d support Todd.

Tons of conflicts of interest that are against nfl policy:

Yes, owning Caesars Entertainment—which Tilman Fertitta's Fertitta Entertainment officially agreed to acquire for roughly $17.6 billion—presents a major conflict of interest under NFL rules.The NFL enforces very strict anti-gambling and sports betting regulations for its majority owners to protect the integrity of the game. If Fertitta pursues buying the New Orleans Saints, his casino operations create three primary conflicts:1. Sportsbooks and Sports BettingThe Conflict: Caesars operates one of the largest sports betting platforms and retail sportsbooks in North America.The NFL Rule: NFL owners are strictly prohibited from operating sportsbooks that take bets on NFL games. Because Caesars takes billions in NFL wagers, Fertitta cannot hold a majority stake in both an NFL team and Caesars Sportsbook simultaneously.2. The Naming Rights ProblemThe Conflict: In 2021, Caesars purchased the 20-year naming rights to the Saints' home stadium, the Caesars Superdome.The NFL Rule: An NFL owner cannot own a company that has a massive commercial sponsorship and naming rights deal with their own stadium. This would essentially mean Fertitta would be paying sponsorship revenue to himself, creating severe financial and cross-promotional conflicts of interest.3. Local Casino PresenceThe Conflict: Caesars is the dominant casino operator in the state of Louisiana, notably running Harrah's New Orleans (which is being rebranded into Caesars New Orleans) right in the Saints' backyard.The NFL Rule: While the NFL now allows team owners to have passive or heavily capped investments in hospitality and casino companies, owning the absolute largest local gambling hub in the team's home market invites heavy regulatory scrutiny regarding local influence and market monopolies.What Fertitta Would Have to DoTo clear NFL vetting, Fertitta would likely have to structure a deal to completely spin off, divest, or sell the sports betting arm of Caesars, or hold a completely passive, non-voting equity share with zero operational control. He already has experience with this restriction: he had to sell his minority share of the Houston Texans in 2008 because his Golden Nugget casinos offered sports betting at the time.Would you like to explore how other pro sports leagues (like the NBA, where Fertitta owns the Houston Rockets) handle his sports betting ties, or look closer at the NFL's specific vetting process for new owners? Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

If they build the $3.7 billion dollar new dome & surrounding areas for the Saints, the Saints better not be moving in the next millenium

Where are they going to build a new stadium? Metairie? The Northshore? Gulf Coast Mississippi?

A new Dome/Stadium for the Saints is 3rd on the list behind the New Mississippi river bridge and the Baton Rouge Loop.

His dealership was not the naming rights
Though

I doubt he would move the team to Houston since they already have the Texans

No future owner would move team knowing how the NFL still considers New Orleans as a quality Super Bowl host site

Money rules the nfl. It is easy to see the possibilities. A large city and richer State can offer more money and more TV revenue. A free brand new stadium. A owner worth billions of dollars to throw around where its needed and a promised future revenue stream unmatched in nfl history.
The wealth of individuals in this country makes anything possible.
