Yes, well, we Orleanians know how to deal with that sort of situation. Almost immediately after the NFL sent out its cease-and-desist letters, the T-shirt printers targeted immediately began printing
more "Who Dat" T-shirts, while Sen. David Vitter sent a threatening letter to Roger Goddell and Rep. Charlie Melancon started both written and online petition drives. Faced with what was ballooning into a PR nightmare on the cusp of what is bound to be a very highly watched Super Bowl, the NFL backed down. They clarified their position along much more narrow lines and dropped any claim to the phrase "Who Dat" as their property.
Who Dat Nation 7, NFL Properties 0.
