Players and coaches from the New Orleans Saints partnered with their colleagues from around the NFL’s orbit to produce a helpful public service announcement in reaction to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Familiar faces in New Orleans like Sean Payton, Drew Brees, Cameron Jordan, Thomas Morstead, and Alvin Kamara each spoke out in the new video about the importance of staying home to prevent further infections in your community.
Brees has taken further action, pledging $5 million to assist with Louisiana relief efforts like investing in hospitals and delivering free meals to the needy. Saints team owner Gayle Benson has also stepped up with $1 million in assistance to workers in the New Orleans tourism industry, which has been hit hard by the effects of the pandemic. Payton has had a personal experience with the coronavirus, testing positive for it and using his platform to raise awareness of how people can respond.
Be sure to take their advice. Our team here at Saints Wire wishes you and your loved ones well in these difficult times. Stay safe.
