NFL tells Buddy Caldwell they aren't interested in Who Dat, Black and Gold and Fleur De Lis

The issue is that the NFL claimed that they owned the trademark phrase "whodat," the colors "Black and Gold" and the "Fleur-de-Lis" symbol and any combination of those three on any salable item.

Yeah. douche-bag maneuver to issue cease and desists. And now one can see that without obvious checks, unlimited corporate participation in the election process can bully us average citizens into having no voice. Just think about not having our policians "unbiased" when faced with a similar issue? Maybe this is the last time you see a victory for the small guy.

Maybe not. The difference with us is that we are often united about things. We raised hell when the rumbled about moving... we even raised hell over the nacho cheese. We're a tight bunch, and there's a bunch of us, and thats why sometimes our voice gets heard.

Geez, the whole idea of the name was that it was just two colors. "Saints" is no where in there so the NFL couldn't *****.

When they start owning the rights to colors of the spectrum, let me know...

It's all about the "money" that's their business. They could care less about anything else just plain greed. What stopped them was the bad publicity that was starting to swirl around the media. Think about it the mighty NFL picking on poor little Who Dats down in New Orleans.
