http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdo ... nfl,216965The NFL asserted rights to ["who dat"] earlier this week through the Florida Department of State, and it has issued cease-and-desist orders against New Orleans vendors who sell Saints memorabilia adorned with the wording. It informed vendors that using the phrase is likely to "confuse the purchasing public into believing that your items" are sponsored by the NFL.
New Orleans locals are outraged and suspicious. The NFL, they contend, never cared about the quirky chant when the football team was dubbed the 'Aints a few decades ago, or after it was ousted from its home stadium in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina and finished 3-13.

Re: "Who Dat?"
thats BS. they didnt make the phrase, so they cant claim they own it. the fans own it.
When in doubt, burn it down.

Re: "Who Dat?"
the answer here is simple
do a t-shirt that says --- who dat? it is the NFL and they suck
then you have political speech, the ACLU will protect you

The NFL has the worst commissioner. Makes me want to not watch NFL games anymore. Then again the BCS is almost as bad.

Re: "Who Dat?"
The only thing I like about Goodell is that he's a lot tougher on guys who screw up like Micheal Vick.
Other than that, I agree. He really made the NFL into the No Fun League!
