Entrepreneurs have begun marketing T shirts and other memorabilia with the words "Who Dat" to football fans. But the NFL sent their attorneys after them. They claim that "Who Dat" is an NFL trademark, which makes it NFL property. Senator David VItter, R-La, has taken up the side of the entrepreneurs.
I suspect that the entrepreneurs will prevail in this instance. But should the NFL prevail, I'm going to rush out and slap a trademark symbol next to all the popular phrases I can think of. Then I'll sue anyone who uses them. Consider this fair warning, readers! I now officially own "Oh yeah," "Oh baby," "All right," "What's up," "Thank you," and "Hubba hubba."
