Crisis communications: emails show Saints & Pelicans helped New Orleans church spin abuse scandal [Goodell says NFL isn’t concerned]

The people in this organization including Bensel, Gayle, and Laushcha who helped the Catholic church in their efforts to cover up the rape of young children are disgusting and anyone defending them because they're part of your sportsball team are equally so. Priests were RAPING CHILDREN and when the Archbishop came to the Saints to help mitigate the fallout, executives of the organization not only dutifully helped but they also worked to minimize the fallout to the church in the media and lied about their involvement when the news broke. Can you imagine the betrayal if this was one of your children? Can you imagine the weight of an entire city structure working against holding pedophiles accountable? How is any of this acceptable?

I grew up in New Orleans, attended the first playoff win against the Rams, and bled black and gold.

I'm disgusted by all of it. I only half-heartedly follow this team anymore after the whole NFL's everyone-is-a-racist garbage but this will finally end any lasting love I have for the franchise I grew up with and supported financially and emotionally. Good riddance.
