The owner of The Saints won't refund season tickets!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

Heard this on sports radio today.

[ComerPerro]

1. And who would make him?

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Not who

what - his sense of decency.

[TomInTib]

2. Does John Mecom still own the Saints?

If so, this would not surprise me at all.

He's just another *

[KamaAina]

9. No, it's used car dealer Tom Benson

still another **, I'm afraid.

[Left_Winger]

3. and he probably killed Kenny - that bastard!

[Fridays Child]

4. A ticket is a contract. Unless a waiver for natural disasters...

...is printed on the tickets, he had better refund the buyers or put on some games.

[xray s]

5. well FUCK him!

6. It's rumored in my parts that the Saints have been offered

the use of the empty Silverdome in Pontiac Michigan for the season.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. So the season ticket holders can just fly up to Michigan

for every game.

Problem solved. :eyes:

[KamaAina]

7. You'll never guess what political party he gives to...

...it statrts with 'R' and ends with "epuke"!

Next up: Watch for him to hijack the team to San Antonio, where people know what picante sauce is supposed to taste like :-) , and where he has business interests. Everyone else in the organization wants to play at Tiger Stadium in B.R., but apparently they've been overruled. Looks like it's back to the days of paper bags with eyeholes cut out over our heads... :(

8. Wrong

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-saints-benson&prov=ap&type=lgns

"Benson also assured season ticket holders they will be refunded if they are unable to attend games, wherever they may be played. He said the team was still finishing the details of its refund policy."

[KamaAina]

11. Looks like he's flip-flopped

WDSU was reporting "no refunds" yesterday.

[Mr_Spock]

12. Wow, the misinformation brigade here continues

What the heck? Too many news reporters and not enough editors...

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. It is not misinformation

It was announced yesterday that no refunds would be offered. I heard it on the radio - they even read a statement from the owner saying no refunds.

Apparently he changed his mind. Maybe he got some negative feedback after he issued the statement I heard.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. Then he changed his mind

His statement they read on the radio said no refunds.

[sportndandy]

10. Not true anymore. Refunds are a go. link

18. The team has moved this week's game to Arizona

per the radio scanner just now..

Ground worker said "You heard they moved the game to Arizona, you know it's serious when they do that"


Duh..ya THINK? The bodies floating by you were not a big enough clue??
