I don't know why anyone would want to protect those that prey on the innocent while spouting their religious server. Just doesn't make sense to me. 

Spouting religion has nothing to do with preying on the innocent being bad. Preying on the innocent is just plain evil, period.

Tinderbox bound baby...

Why even post this to the main forum... it's going to get ugly soon.

Wow, wonder if Kellen Moore backs out now.

Yikes on that take 

Not in the slightest, particularly since I said the general concept is fine.

Let’s be honest, this is just a human thing. Pretty sure evil people are in just about every nook and cranny. The bigger the story, the more we hear about it. I don’t think the Nickelodeon/Hollywood pedos are into religion.

Acting as if the removal of religion would turn this world into a wonderful place is very myopic. I don’t think the Catholoc church has assaulted more children than the weird uncles/awful parents of the world, but it’s easier to attack a single entity.

Saints suck and I hope they get folded.

No real argument here, but that doesn't excuse the behavior. It is certainly like whack-a-mole though.

Wonder how you consider immersing yourself in that organization depending on how much further this develops.

Yeah, I don't know how anyone wants to be associated with this and risk their reputation.

Not to mention getting players willing to come to the organization. Too many men nowadays know of someone who's been assaulted. I know 3 myself. I'd be hard pressed to take a job at a place I knew supported that kind of thing.

Keeping it to football - as I could go on for ages on this otherwise - this is the type of thing that should be a massive PR nightmare for the NFL. However, I would be surprised if there's any actual consequences to the Saints similar to Bountygate.

In before Tinderbox! 

This is absolutely disgusting and everyone should be appaled they went out of their way to seemingly protect a child rapist. 

Ugh. Article gives me the chills in all the worst ways. 

So far I agree with the posts so no Tinderbox yet. If you guys start disagreeing with me I'll send it away

Wonder if Fat Alice was involved?

Evil, pure evil.

Anything that man touches he tarnishes with corruption.  Never before has religion been weaponized and used by political figures as it has been recently.  According to Pew Research center, and I had a discussion with a Methodist minister about this recently, Gen X-Z are disassociating from the church in record numbers.  Those in power or seeking riches on earth use it to manipulate....It is called menticide in some cases--brainwashing.  To see it for what it is, you have to be objective and willing to see what is under the blanket.  Pew says that 50% of the American churches--mostly evangelical, will not exist in 2050.  For the first time ever, American youth value "common sense" (36%) over spirituality (24%) when making ethical decisions.  So no, the church is not above corruption, greed, and manipulation of the masses.  This is not really new--but it is being exploited now like never before.  Because of more access to the media, Children are less likely to be scared into church and forced to believe the dogma as before.  They see the greed, lying, and manipulation.  This is not mocking Jesus or God--this is exposing those who distort images of Jesus and God so that they can rape, rob, and manipulate you to vote one way or another.  This $50 million dollar preacher knows what I am talking about, as did/does Jim Bakker, Catholic priests, Falwell, Swaggart, etc. 

 

I've been on this board for damn near 20 years, and this is one of the most insightful and spot-on posts of all time!

Could not agree more

"This is disgusting," said state Rep. Mandie Landry, D-New Orleans. "As a New Orleans resident, taxpayer and Catholic, it doesn't make any sense to me why the Saints would go to these lengths to protect grown men who raped children. All of them should have been just as horrified at the allegations."

 

So... when do they sell the team?
