Whore-mongering diaper-fetishist David Vitter takes on the NFL over Who Dat-gate
Reports WWL:
Sen. David Vitter has picked up the cause of local merchants who are being threatened by the NFL to cease and desist the use of “Who Dat”, Saints fans' rallying cry, saying that he will print his own t-shirts and challenged NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to sue the Louisiana senator.
“This letter will also serve as formal legal notice that I am having t-shirts printed that say "WHO DAT say we can't print Who Dat!" for widespread sale in commerce. Please either drop your present ridiculous position or sue me,” Vitter said in an e-mail.
The senator said examples of the phrase in minstrel shows and by a local high school football team showed that the iconic rally cry was used in other places before it was adopted by the New Orleans Saints.
"Who Dat" was probably first heard in New Orleans minstrel shows well over 130 years ago. Much more recently, but before it was used in connection with the Saints, it was used as a rallying cry by St. Augustine High School in New Orleans,” he said.
“In the 1980s it was adopted by Saints fans in a completely spontaneous way. Only later did any legal persons, including the Saints and the NFL, try to claim it through registration.”
Finally, David Vitter does something I can get behind.
