On Tuesday night, New Orleans Saints and Pelicans Owner Mrs. Gayle Benson was featured on the NFL Network’s NFL 360: Women in Sports. Jane Slater with the NFLN interviewed Mrs. Benson, who is the first woman to be the majority shareholder with both an NFL and NBA franchise, about her history in New Orleans, generous charitable donations, assisting startup businesses and her succession plans for the teams. A plan that includes a promise that both teams must remain in New Orleans after they are sold. The segment also featured comments from Saints Linebacker Demario Davis as well as a few team employees about Mrs. Benson and her incredible work ethic and efforts.

The episode is scheduled to re-air on the NFL Network on Saturday at 8 am ct.
