Hi, I am a New Orleans Saints fan. This upcoming sunday when the saints step into tiger stadium so than can lose to the dolphins, there will be much more than a possible loss at stake for all saints fans. As some of you probally know our current owner is in the process of trying to take away the only thing most New Orleaneans have left. In response to this, many saints fans have started a grass roots campaign to keep the Saints in New Orleans. The reason I am posting on the site, it to ask those Dolphin fans going to the game (and even those not) for their help. I am certiantly not asking for you to not cheer for your Dolphins or to cheer for the Saints, but rather if you could make any type of signs to hold up during the game to show that you support the Saints staying in New Orleans, it would be greatly appreciated (the theme is SOS--"Save the Saints"). If you are curios about the grass roots campaign to keep the Saints in New Orleans you can go to Saints Report (its a website) and go to the forum that deals with the Saints topics. Again thanks for any help you can possibly give and best of luck to the Dolphins on sunday as well as the rest of the year. (PS take care of Saban for us)
Sos!!

:welcome: Sorry to hear about what the owner is thinking of doing that is f**ked up. I hate people like that like your state hasn't gone through enough. I think the NFL might intervene in that deal.besyjr said:

Come on guys help NO out if you are going to the game. No fans deserves to lose their team and their fans really don't.

Talk about kicking people when they are down. A lot of owners would try to be helpful in this time of need. Too bad. Not much I can do up here in Canada, I don't think anyone will see my sign from up here, but I sure wish you luck. I can't imagine the Saints anywhere else.

I can't imagine what Saints fans are going through. My heart would break if the Dolphins left.
That being said, the City of New Orleans will be better off w/o the Saints. The Governor signed a deal with the Devil when he/she agreed to pay the Saints to stay. N.O. is probably the poorest big city in the U.S. I'll never understand the justification for spending $40 million on the Saints, when a great precentage of the population is in poverty.
If Lousiana spends another dollar on the Saints it would be a travesty. The state needs to focus 100% of its resources on rebuilding and ensuring it's childern have better schools to attend.
When looking at the big picture, the Saints fall pretty low on the priority list.
I do feel for you Saints fans, but sometimes sacrifice is a must, and that sacrifice should not be your people.
