Bengals debuted their chant is 1980. Three years later the Saints fans did Who Dat. Why so blatantly steal the cheer?

We had it first. There was a high school in south Louisiana with a similar chant.

The Saints stole it from the Patterson JackOffs.

You think anyone living in New Orleans in the 80's knew or cared about what was going on in Cincinnati? Hell I don't know/care now and we have the benefit of the internet.

83 is the year it was put in a song a popularized. It was used before that. Sweet troll though.

The Saints stole St. Aug's cheer not the Bengals cheer.

The St Aug Purple Knight fans have been saying Who Dat forever.

The New York Times article says that the Bengals started using it in the Fall of 1981.

Here is a link showing its use in South Louisiana about ten months earlier (for LSU's 1980-81 basketball team): LINK.
