Report: Saints owner says calls to fire GM are 'ridiculous'

In a challenging season for the New Orleans Saints, owner Gayle Benson has publicly backed general manager Mickey Loomis, calling calls for his firing 'ridiculous.' This comes as the team grapples with a disappointing 2-8 record. Similar sentiments of support can be seen in other sports contexts, such as Sacramento Kings head coach Doug Christie defending his team against critics. Both situations highlight the pressures faced by sports leaders and the importance of maintaining confidence in management during tough times.
