Who Dat? The NFL nazis, thats who.
January 30th, 2010 | by Mark Hooper |Hey, lets be honest, Saints fans invented the “Who Dat” phrase many, many years ago, pretty soon after the franchise was created. Shame on the fans for not getting together and patenting the phrase. Kidding… But now the NFL has decided since the phrase is about the Saints, and therefore NFL, they own the rights. How ridicilous is that? How can you possibly claim rights to a phrase “who dat”, that doesn’t include the words NFL, football, Saints or anything associated with the NFL.
Shame on the NFL brain trust for not stepping forward and cutting this off before it became public. It’s just another blackeye that this league does not need, especially with the potential of a strike in ‘11. Of course, fans and street vendors have used the “Who Dat” phrase for years, and now only when the Saints are going to the Superbowl and money is involved does the NFL decide to step in to get their snoot in the feeding bucket. Shameful.

How dare you say the publc cannot use the phrase “WHO DAT!” just because the Saints are going to the Super Bowl.
No one cared about the New Orleans Saints or the phrases people used about them until they start doing good.
Everyone called them “The Aints” until they made it this far now they want to jump on the band wagon when they start winning.
