My Take
Gayle Benson strikes me as someone who accepted a daunting inheritance and grew into it. A New Orleans native, she became principal owner of both the NFL's Saints and the NBA's Pelicans after her husband Tom Benson died in 2018, stepping into a sports-ownership world still dominated by men. What interests me is less the wealth than the stewardship: holding two franchises that are woven into a city's identity is a civic responsibility as much as a business. I read an Aquarian independence and a stubborn loyalty in how she has anchored herself to New Orleans. Quietly steady rather than flashy, she earns my respect.
