I found this on www.bayoushooter.com
The NFL was not behind the “Who Dat” issue, it was none other than Tom Benson. This was filed by Benson the day after beating the Vikings,

This is disappointing and embarrassing but not surprising.
ETA: Im not sure if I believe this totally yet.
BTW, Mjolnir, live in Mandeville.

That’s an ignorant comment and jews were not living in ghettoes in New Orleans when the Acadians moved in…
Parisian France is the dialect or was the dialect spoken in Paris, the capital. All other regions of France had their own dialects.
These Northern Frenchmen (and Irishmen) moved into Canada and then were forced out of Canada by the Brits and they moved into South Louisiana speaking the way they spoke several hundred years ago.
Oh, and that word “Creole”. What do you know about it? There are several definitions: any European born in the New World; any mixed race person containing French, African and/or Native American blood (living in South Louisiana). So “Creole” French would be ANY French speaker or any dialect of French in the New World - depending upon one’s definition.
You have much to learn, cher . (That would be Acadien/Acadian/Cajun as opposed to “boo” which would be New Orleans).
Nobody cares Homie French.
The phrase is hardly mainstream. More like subculture.
Anyway, we apologize for polluting and inconveniencing the “mainstream” with a ghetto phrase for a couple of weeks. A phrase that you probably hadn’t even heard until not too long ago and a phrase the majority of the country will forget about once the superbowl is over. Ignore the fact that the phrase has put smiles on thousands of faces and lifted spirits in the gulf south. I’m sure you are well aware of the past hardships of the region. I guess the better option would have been for the saints to throw the NFC game out of fear the two words “who” and “dat” would spread like a disease, tainting and eternally altering American culture as we know it.
Well so long as you are sorry and understand that it is wrong.
And it isn’t the Cajuns that bother me so much as the ebonics crowd that use the same phrase and it’s adoption by the mainstream.

Geesh, the Cajuns/Acadians are the ones who speak likek dat.
Preoccupation with ebonics (when it has nothing to do with “Who Dat”) suggests a need to either educate one’s self or “let it go”.

Don’t let the Truth of the matter blind your Ignorance; please.
