Your move NFL...

I would urge you to drop this obnoxious and legally unsustainable position and instead agree that "Who Dat" is in the public domain, giving no one exclusive trademark rights.

This letter will also serve as formal legal notice that I am having t-shirts printed that say "WHO DAT say we can't print Who Dat!" for widespread sale in commerce. Please either drop your present ridiculous position or sue me.

Great PR move as well. I bet Mary is kicking herself for not thinking of this first...

That's awesome. It's ridiculous that the NFL thinks they own a chant that fans started.

His "position" isn't really a position. It's a fluff issue and one that will not have any opposition. It's like being "for education."

It could have some repercussions if he actually prints and distributes the shirts...

Exactly.

That said, it's a great political move for him to capitalize on the popularity of the Saints and the populist outrage against the NFL.

Well played, Mr. Vitter. Well played.

Perhaps more significant than this history, "Who Dat" has become part of New Orleans and Louisiana popular culture. For the NFL to try to claim exclusive ownership of it would be like me registering and trying to claim exclusive ownership of the terms "lagniappe" and "laissez les bons temps rouler!”


I doubt Goodell even know's what they mean.

No, I think the boom was here:

Under Paul Tagliabue's leadership, the NFL was an unbelievable partner in helping us recover and rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. Thank you again. We look forward to your dropping your "Who Dat" position so that this partnership can continue without strain or blemish.

Yeah I liked that one too.

I wasn't a big Tag fan until post-Katrina; he really stepped up to the plate. My disdain for Goodell grows daily.

Just think if you could rightly claim that you were the FIRST politician "for education," though.

I don't think anybody really doubts it's a stunt, but it's still a good one.

I have gained some new respect for David Vitter, he is putting his neck on the line for "the little guy".
Damn, he'll have this liberals vote....maybe.
