In response to a Times-Picayune journalist's call to sell his sports' franchises, Tom Benson issued a statement to fans on Sunday evening that he will remain the owner of both the New Orleans Pelicans and Saints.
He went on to state that Jeff Duncan's article was "fraught with inaccuracies especially as they pertain to our partnership with the State of Louisiana or the structure of our organization."
While the squabble between a self-made billionaire and a local paper has proven amusing entertainment, the focus should be on the path forward for the teams themselves, and for our purposes, specifically the Pelicans.
