The New Orleans Saints are going to court to keep the public from seeing hundreds of emails that allegedly show team executives doing public relations for the area’s Roman Catholic archdiocese to help it contain the fallout from a burgeoning sexual abuse crisis. AdvertisementThe NFL, which was advised of the matter by plaintiffs’ attorneys because the Saints’ emails used the team’s nfl.com domain, has not commented on the case. A court-appointed special master is expected to hear arguments in the coming weeks on whether the communications should remain confidential. The Associated Press filed a motion with the court supporting the release of the documents as a matter of public interest. “And the Saints joined in.”A Saints spokeswoman Friday said team officials had no comment.
