Just days after New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson won a trial against his heirs that officially ruled him competent and fit to continue running the two organizations, as expected, an appeal is being filed, according to Fox 8 New Orleans.
It all started earlier this year when Benson made some changes in who will take control of his empire upon his death. The 87-year-old’s initial plans were to grant ownership of his NFL and NBA franchises to his granddaughter, Rita Benson LeBlanc.
