The Super Bowl Banner Including Darren Sharper To Be Removed From Champions Square

Champions Square

Champions Square is getting a face-lift. And while the Saints haven’t nailed down every detail, they’ve decided this much: The banner image of cornerback Tracy Porter clinching the 2010 Super Bowl with his late interception return for a touchdown is coming down.

That’s because racing behind Porter, with a gloved index finger raised skyward, is one Darren Sharper — No. 42, a now confessed serial rapist.

“It’s common sense. We don’t even want the perception that that’s an individual we’re celebrating,” Ben Hales, a team executive , said Monday.
