Refugees, anarchy and war zone are terms not generally associated with the american public. However last week was unlike any other week, and these terms were not only appropriate but are forever seared into our minds eye after Hurricane Katrina's
devastation.


In the aftermath of Katrina, the nation attempts to take some of
the pain from the New Orleans residents thru contributions of food, water and monetary donations. Organizations such as the New York Yankees and professional athletes of all the major sports have pledged donations.


The most profitable professional league in this country, the NFL
has pledged $1 million. Surely this is merely the NFL's initial
donation, as the league recently signed a muti-Billion dollar TV contract. The value of the thirty-two franchises exceed $15 Billion. Remember your member team New Orleans Saints and their community have suffered the largest natural disaster this country has witness. The "Big Easy" has become the city of "Atlantis"... a city under water.
