NFL/NBA now have a Donald Sterling problem with Gayle Benson

You can't compare the fan bases of the Rams in St. Louis to the Saints in New Orleans. For all the success, the Rams were the secondary team in St. Louis after the Cardinals.

As for potential ownership, can Benson give the team to someone like Dennis Lauscha

Not comparing fan bases, I'm talking money. The saints tried to move once before. If you don't think the ownership wouldn't do it again your being naive.

I don't think he can just give the team away either. I'm sure that would end up in even law suits with everyone who had a hand in the pot. People just don't give away a billion dollars without a lot of people getting upset.
