Former Meta Executive Accuses Company of Compromising U.S. Security

Survivor support groups are urging the National Football League (NFL) to investigate whether the New Orleans Saints flouted its own commitments to prevent sexual abuse by colluding with the local Catholic archdiocese. According to the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), the Saints have misused their considerable resources by assisting the archdiocese in mitigating negative media coverage surrounding its handling of clerical molestation cases.
Emails revealed by The Guardian and other outlets indicate that team executives, under the ownership of devout Catholic Gayle Benson, were more involved in the church’s public relations efforts than previously disclosed. SNAP argues that this cooperation undermines the NFL's stated goals of addressing domestic violence and sexual assault.
In response to queries about these actions, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell described the Saints as “great corporate citizens” and expressed confidence that their involvement was intended to foster transparency. However, critics, including SNAP founder Richard Windmann, slammed Goodell’s remarks as dismissive and urged for an independent investigation.
