No Saints in New Orleans?

I know that everyone is tired of hearing all the problems the hurricanes have caused, but this is something I find interesting. It has been in the news lately that Tom Benson has been looking to move the New Orleans' Saints to another city. This makes perfect business sense. The city has been destroyed and it will be years before people will be able to afford tickets and other merchandise. But there are many people out there who are saying that Benson is not doing the right thing. They argue that he is abandoning a city that needs their team now more than ever. What is a business person to do?

I think this is another claim from a group that they should be able to tell someone else how to spend their money.

I'm not from New Orleans Jasmine, so there is no offense taken.

FWIW: the name Saints comes from the song "When the Saints Go Marching In", which was written by New Orleans native Louis Armstrong.
