NFL better move the Superbowl

ChrisXVI · 03-22-2012, 06:10 PM

It's gonna be ugly. I get the whole influx of money and the economical aspect but I don't see how they can have the Superbowl in New Orleans after all of this just for the reason of safety. They're going to bring a bunch of morons into New Orleans and of course they'll get liquored up... It can't possibly end well. For the sake of the reputation of the fine people of the Gulf Coast in general, think about moving the Superbowl.

I couldn't disagree with you more. First, it takes years of planning to host a Super Bowl. No one else could do it.

Second, it would totally devastate the economy of the city since many have spent money preparing for this landfall.

Third, this whole thing going on now will be an afterthought since the Saints will be in the Super Bowl.

Y'all are making far too big a deal of this. In a couple of weeks we'll be moving on with an interim coach and planning for the draft.

Chill out!

It will be more difficult to get out of an away game without an incident.

I'm a fighter. I can deal with that. I just don't want to get locked up in a Brees jersey, that's all. Cause then you gotta beat more ass down at lockup.

I mean, I may never get done whipping ass over this bounty program!

I'm with AG, too much prior planning involved and money spent. I've been wrong before but moving the SB would be a logistics nightmare having to book another city which may already have events that would have to be cancelled and money refunded, so that's a double whammy of problems.

Also, it would look bad on the NFL..when does the punishment end? All the suspensions have differnt end dates, the picks as well. A line has to be drawn somewhere on punishing the Saints and the city. It's still not over either. We will likely have players suspened all with different suspense dates...enough is enough.

Let's keep it here so we can be the first team to play in its own facility for the Super Bowl. Boy! That will chap some asses. Won't it?

Not that I am into chapping asses, but I'm cool with those who do, but it would be pretty damned sweet, no?

If this board was representative of the whole city, then the SB would be moved, no question. No-one in the NFL would worry about a bunch of people who don't want a SB, not getting one. There's a precedent to show it could be done - the Superbowl after 9/11 was delayed a week, and that was with only 4 months' notice.

Am I understanding you are saying: If the entire city of N.O. was on this board, then the SB would be moved from here?

Don't make me get the Bounty Hunter..

What I'm saying is, if the entire city - or a substantial majority - felt the same way as [some of] the people on this board, then the Superbowl would be moved. If hundreds of thousands took to the streets saying "don't bring it here", it would be moved. Actually 10,000 or so might be enough. But you aren't going to catch the mayor saying it, or the Saints ownership, or the senators or congressmen, because there's too much money riding on it, and a lot of that money is to be made by voters who don't feel like giving it up.
