I don\'t understand you people!! Everyone on here is acting like the State is paying money out of it\'s pocket to keep the Saints here. The wails and moans and gnashing of teeth at the thought of poor starving children with no schools to go to, or roads to get there on is deafening....and completely ridiculous!!

The state makes a lot more money OFF the Saints than it PAYS the Saints.

If the Saints LEAVE the State will make NO money off the Saints, and there will be MORE hungry kids, and LESS schools, and WORSE roads. LESS tourism (and yes, a lot of teams fans come to New Orleans to see their teams play I know, I own a guest house), and less income to the State from all of the multimilliondollar salaries the players who live here make.

Don\'t you people realize how the National exposure New Orleans gets from a nationally televised Saints Game helps the State, regardless of wether we win or lose?!?!

St. Louis, Houston, Cleveland, and Baltimore all gave up their NFL Franchises rather than pay them incentives to stay. Every one of those cities had significant financial losses and paid HUGE ammounts to get a team Back. If New Orleans loses the Saints because of ignorant legislators who can\'t see the bottom line, New Orleans will NEVER get another team.
