The Mayor of Toronto must be on crack

I think people mention the Saints only because it's a buzz word for moving. After 3 real moving scandals, they haven't moved. 3 things keep the team in NOLA for a long time:

1) stadium always sold out LONG before Katrina (now with long waiting list)
2) the Saints are in top 5 in selling merchandize in the NFL
3) Saints have a lease with the Superdome through 2025

New Orleans is hosting a Superbowl next year, but that can't be said for Jacksonville.

The councilman/mayor have NO CLUE what is going on down here basing their comments on the economy and status of the City of New Orleans in the late 90's and pre-Katrina. Luckily, people know the City better after Katrina.

This issue is seriously not on the radar for me.
