Gayle Benson insists she will not be selling the Saints or the Pelicans
Sains owner Gayle Benson won’t be firing long-time G.M. Mickey Loomis. She also won’t be selling the Saints, or the NBA’s Pelicans.“Let me be clear about this,” Benson said in an interview with Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, via Sports Business Journal. “The teams are not for sale. That’s in capital letters. I want everybody to know the teams are not for sale. I get tired of people asking me [if they’re for sale]. I’m going to turn 79 in January, but I’m pretty healthy. I hear that people want to talk to me about buying the team. I’m like, well, that’s a waste of my time. That’s not going to happen. And people need to calm down about the team moving.”
That said, Benson restated her long-term plans for the teams.
“It remains that when I die, both teams will be sold to the highest bidder and those proceeds will be used 100 percent to improve this community,” she said.
Just sayin': If that what will eventually be done, you would think that she would want to
1. sell the teams now,
2. have input how the money will be used to help the community,
and
3. enjoy seeing the actual improvements to the community before she dies.
