Sen. David Vitter, R-La., and his Democratic challenger, Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, have found something to agree on: They both think the National Football League is out of bounds in claiming it has a trademark on “Who Dat.”
Vitter is challenging the National Football League to back down from its claims or sue him, while Melancon has launched an online petition for fans to express their displeasure.
Melancon says: “The NFL is claiming that they own the phrase ‘WHO DAT’ and are sending cease and desist letters to local stores making merchandise bearing the phrase.
This is incredibly heavy-handed — no one owns “WHO DAT” aside from the WHO DAT NATION!”

Aside from being extremely good PR, it is a pleasant surprise that our politicians are actually doing their jobs for once. It’s all about money. The NFL is all about money. There is no way that any of this would hold up in ANY court of law. I would LMAO just thinking about that trial… in other news, NOTHING the NFL can do right now will bring this city and state down from its high! WHO DAT!?
