#FleurtyGirl and others still face fight after Settlement reached in 'Who Dat' lawsuit

I think that was settled last year the phrase is ok to use by anyone but you can't use the Saints or NFL logos with the Phrase.
The ones still in trouble are the ones who used Saints logs with the phrase?

Naw, unfortunately there's a company named Who Dat? Inc. made up of the original guy who helped produce the original "Who Dat" song and he was somehow granted a trademark on the phrase "Why Dat" way back in the day.

He always let the Saints and fans use this without squatting on it... until the NFL decided it was going to try and own everything.

Who Dat, Inc. NOW also owns the phrases "Two Dat" and others. It's a real sucky, greedy situation... unfortunately. This all developed after the NFL tried to be greedy and take ownership of Who Dat during the Superbowl run. I also blame the NFL for starting all this BS.

Personally, I think he's exploiting a flaw in the legal system to try and get control of this and hope he loses his shirt and is granted nothing because he's GREE DEEE.

In the end, it's going to be the "little people" like Fleurty Girl etc. who will suffer from this. They'll try to force them to pay royalties on shirts already sold.
