This is a stupid debate. It's not even a debate, simply someone looking for an argument where there is none. The Saints as a team have performed at least 3 miracles which more than qualifies them for actual sainthood. A better question is if Catholics object to the name. Since most of the people who live in New Orleans watch the games with a rosary in their hands, there is no problem here. Unless you want to talk about Goodell. Then, yes, this atheist is offended, as is everyone else in New Orleans.
