Gayle Benson on talk of selling Saints or Pelicans: 'I would never sell it. No'
A former Saintsation is suing the Saints' organization for discrimination.
Bailey Davis, who worked as a member of the Saintsations for three seasons, filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission when she was sacked in January, claiming the team has a different set of rules for men, primarily the Saints players, and women, primarily the Saintsations, in the organization. The complaint accuses the Saints of not just having two unequal sets of rules - one for women (the cheerleaders) and one for men (the players) - but of enforcing rules that reflect outdated views of women.
Davis's complaint further asserts that her firing was the result of policies which force Saints cheerleaders to avoid all contact with players, both online and in-person while making no such requirements and threats of termination towards players.

Davis is also accused of being seen at a party with Saints players, another violation of team rules for their cheerleaders. Cheerleaders were also told to block players from following them, but players were not told to block cheerleaders from following them, according to The New York Times.
National Football League players don't exactly have a reputation for being champions of women's rights.

Her defense attorneys have said they plan to tell jurors that Salman was diagnosed with PTSD because of Mateen's domestic abuse. The father further said that he was saddened by his son's actions during the Muslim holy month of Ramazan.
Cheerleaders are told not to dine in the same restaurant as players, or speak to them in any detail. Davis worked for the organization for three seasons before being fired for breaking team rules about fraternization and social media usage - rules which, according to Bailey, place an unfair onus on the organization's female employees.
Don't get it twisted, the Saints aren't the only team in trouble peddling this sexist trash.
The team says its rules are created to protect cheerleaders from players preying on them.
"If the cheerleaders can't contact the players, then the players shouldn't be able to contact the cheerleaders", said Sara Blackwell, Davis's lawyer. It's like the Saints want them to be cheerleaders on the field (and dance in revealing costumes, which they're not allowed to wear in any pictures on social media), but they don't want them to talk about it or be publicly associated with the team whenever they're off the field, which is most of the time.
But NFL players have no limit on who can follow them on social media and aren't punished for reaching out to the cheerleaders. "The antiquated stereotype of women needing to hide for their own protection is not permitted in America and certainly not in the workplace".
Lawyers for the Saints told the Herald-Tribune Monday the team did not discriminate against Davis because of her gender. "The Saints will defend these allegations in due course, and the Organization is confident that its policies and workplace rules will withstand legal scrutiny".
