Surprised there hasn't been a thread about this yet.

NFL’s Saints fight to shield emails in Catholic abuse crisis

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints are going to court to keep the public from seeing hundreds of emails that allegedly show team executives doing public relations damage control for the area's Roman Catholic archdiocese to help it contain the fallout from a burgeoning sexual abuse crisis.

I guess at least they're living up to their namesake. What the fucking fuck? What's the odds that the e-mails contain a bounty program where they offered rewards for hits on the accusers? Should change their name to the Taints.

Also, Drew Brees. ...not sure if he's Catholic...maybe...but he's extremely religiously fundamental, has a big hard-on against the gays (ironically), and I could see him devoting his only off-field time and cash (Brees is famously uncharitable and unengaged, compared to his peers) protecting a beloved church against crimes, especially related to accusations of gayness and pedophilia against the clergy.

"Sexually assaulted by a priest? Get a free bobblehead pope!" The mind boggles at what PR support a football team could provide.
