Vitter, Melancon blast NFL's "Who Dat" decision

If money wasn't involved, no one would care who owns the slang"Who Dat". I am 73 years old and living witness that black people were using the slang"WhoDat" in the 1950 era.This crave for greed is what is giving our city a bad name, LET'S GROW UP PEOPLE!!!!!

NFL didn't care who usded 'WHO DAT " till now. Saints weren't going to the Super Bowl till now either.I called NFL comment line gave them my 2 cents.GO SAINTS

According to Wikipedia, Who Dat is very old. The chant of "Who Dat?" originated in minstrel shows and vaudeville acts of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and was then taken up by jazz and big band performers in the 1920s and 30s. The first reference to "Who Dat?" can be found in the 19th Century. A featured song in E.E. Rice's "Summer Nights" is the song "Who Dat Say Chicken In dis Crowd", with lyrics by poet Paul Laurence Dunbar.[1] A common tag line in the days of Negro minstrel shows was: "Who dat?" answered by "Who dat say who dat?" Many different blackfaced gags played off that opening. Vaudeville performer Mantan Moreland was known for the routine.[1] Another example is "Swing Wedding," a rarely shown 1930s Harmon-Ising cartoon musical, which caricatured Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Ethel Waters, and the Mills Brothers as frogs in a swamp performing minstrel show jokes and jazz tunes. The frogs repeatedly used the phrase "who dat?" In the swing era, "who dat" chants back and forth between the band and the band leader or between the audience and the band were extemporaneous. That is, there was no one specific set of words except for the two magic ones.

"who Dat" only belongs to the people of Louisiana. My grandma used to say that when someone knocked on the door. Seriously, why dont people just leave things alone & stop being so damn selfish & greedy.

I left my message. Did YOU!
