We might even considering shouting over to site-X, if they feel the same way we do, and seeing if they'll help this.

anyone here Bi-Boardal?

update: wow, 12,000 signatures... guess Im not the only Who Dat outraged by this.

I thought maybe this was some sort of joke but it isn't though it is laughable. I really cannot believe that the NFL would clamp down on such a thing. They do not own it so what the hell are they playing at? In fact it is so pathetic it's embarrassing.

They are clamping down because they have the legal right to protect the leagues intellectual property rights. It really is stealing to bootleg NFL stuff. It is more than just the who dat slogan.

I'm not defending them, just saying that is the legality of the scenario.
They do have a leg to stand on. If it were your property rights and someone was stealing it you might have a different perspective.

Fleur de lis', were tattooed, or branded, on people's bodies, in 17th century France, when they were to be put to death. That symbol, has been around for a LONG time. The term "Who Dat", probably came from a couple of drunk cajuns, after a Saints win sometime in 84'. The fans came up with it, not the NFL.

Maybe I should try to get property rights to the cross symbol, or maybe patent the wheel, if this is the case.

Sure you can. You are not trying to sell it.

This entire forum, however, is subject to a lawsuit. Howsabout them apples?

fwiw, I always hit the escape key to stop the animations.

It is hard to read a thread with stuff jumping up and down or
spinning around in a circle on the page.
