Hey NFL, Let Me Tell You Who Owns "Who DAT?"

By
Real Estate Agent with Cherimie Crane & Associates

As my fingers attack the keys of my innocent laptop, I desperately try to remind myself that spouting off isn't always a great idea. Myself doesn't agree at this moment.

Sipping on my morning coffee, I was astounded by the news of the NFL strongly advising the small business owners of New Orleans to cease printing items with the "Who Dat" logo.

Excuse me???????

I agree that there is no tears in football. I have always agreed with that sentiment; however, when New Orleans beat the Vikings to secure a visit to Miami, I cried like a baby! It was a difficult reaction to describe to anyone who isn't from the region. It was more than a football game.

I watched helplessly not too many years ago when my entire childhood playground was devastated. I spent hours on the phone trying to find family and friends. I saw first hand the pain, the suffering, and the damaged soul of a city.

So Mr. NFL, I will tell you who owns "Who DAT?"

 

It is the people of a city who refused to give up. It is the small business owners who brick by brick cleaned, scraped, and fought to keep their doors open. It is a region that was so completely forgotten once CNN moved on to another story. It is the people of New Orleans and their loyal cousins in the Gulf Coast region.

I strongly support and encourage the printing, reprinting, repainting, and republishing of a phrase, no matter how silly, if it brings life, hope, and much needed revenue back to my region.

I love what the Saints did for the city.  Unfortunately I am from Indy, so I have to root for the colts.  But, I would be ok with the Saints winning.  Bless ya

Amen Sister! I cried when the Saints made it to the Super Bowl as well. Those were exactly my sentiments; the struggles of this community after such devastation and the fight to rebuild this beautiful city. I am not from NO, but have visited and there is just something about this place......GO SAINTS!

So many fans are rooting for New Orleans. The whole "Who Dat" controversy is insane! My thoughts on using the phrase: Just do it!

Cherimie, I am rooting for the Saints and sorry to say I am not up to date on the "Who Dat" so I cannot address that!

My heart goes out to the City of New Orleans and the surrounding area that was devastated by Katrina....the difference is alarming between then and the now of Haiti!! God bless New Orleans and congratulations to all who fought to come back from such adversity!!
