We have not forgotten
The Bronze Tom statue is the most egregious of insults.
In case you have forgotten, Tom Benson is the slimeball who
relentlessly threatened to move the Saints unless he received sweetheart
concessions from the State of Louisiana and City of New Orleans. The
post-Katrina deal he eventually negotiated sees him reap an estimated $392 million in state subsidies, simply for keeping the team in New Orleans. Forbes estimates
that Benson is worth $1.63 billion, and is the 381st richest person in
the United States. I'm sure residents of Louisiana are thrilled that
some of the money they pay in taxes is going to a billionaire so that he
can get his name on a 22,000 seat stadium in Ohio.
