its great to know about all of her shirts have some type of New Orleans themed topic... The 2009 year season was the New Orleans Saints most successful season, which culminated in the franchise's first league championship win against the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV.

Funny you should mention the NY Mob. The NFL's corporate offices are in NYC.

[...] The Associated Press/USA Today story, for instance, has a couple of direct quotes from the parties involved, but is otherwise a straightforward retelling of what has already been told. And, conspicuously missing from both the AP and WSJ articles are some important basics — like exactly what was in the original cease-and-desist letter that NFL lawyers sent Lauren Thom (aka, the new New Orleans cause célèbre, Fleurty Girl). You can read that letter where first I saw and linked it earlier: here. [...]

The NFL can not possibly own the words "WHO DAT" or the Fleur de lis! The former has been around for decades as a cheer, and the latter probably for centuries. They are just a bunch of corporate greedy monsters.

I'm even more disgusted now than I was at the start of this day when I heard the NFL is trying to lay claim to the Fleur de lis and WHODAT! They own NEITHER and have no right to claim them. I'm glad Fleurty Girl can sell their inventory but it infuriates me that they have to pay ANY royalties to the NFL for them. It's just wrong, and it's pure greed on the part of the NFL! I will never buy an official NFL item again if they continue with this nonsense.

Not quite the gentleman you were earlier referred to as, are you?

"...but apparently people in this town need a little education on common business sense."

When educating, a bit less condescending tone may be more effective.

I agree...use of "who dat" can be traced back to the 1970s, and it has no connection to the Saints. The phrase was used by local high school teams who had entered playoffs for state championships. Since when can the NFL take a catch phrase made by fans and turn it in to monetary gain for the leagues profit?

NFL is a MOB. Run by Bullies and Criminals. They are doing the exact something a NY Mob would do to a small business but they do it in their own way. Like in Movies where you see the Mob go in the store and tell them you have to give me 30% of your profits or we will murder your family and burn your store down. Its sickening that the NFL can go to someone business and tell them you going to have to pay us 10% of your profits from these homemade merchandises, Something they had nothing to do with in the first place..

It sickening me to think that they allow such behavior from the NFL to do these things to businesses. In my own opinion the fans came up with WHO DAT slang first. For the NFL claiming to this is plain out Stupid. Anything the NFL claims to have for a franchise it was possibly claimed and invented by their fans first...
