August 2005 the New Orleans Saints had a near impossible task: to rebuild a city. Now the city has a turn to save a team. Hurricane force winds could knock down and flood our homes, which we rebuilt, but it didn't wash away our resolve. And the crushing blows of the NFL and its commissioner aren't going to do the same to our loyalty spirit and determination.
The Who Dat Nation has been called to action, and rally behind our team and our couch we will.
I couldn't say the words better than the following article in the Clarion Ledger.

Brutality. Excessiveness. Uncalled for injustice.
New Orleanians and Who Dats proved in the aftermath of a the most terrible storm that we can fall and rise again. Now it's time to pick our team up and carry them through the season to the Super Bowl in our own back yard. A long shot? Yes. Near impossible? Maybe. But isn't that what was said about our city in the weeks and months after The Storm?? And wouldn't THAT be sweet revenge?! They couldn't take away our "Who Dat"; they surely won't take away our beloved Saints.
Oh, and Mr. Commissioner, if you're so determined to wreck our season as you apparently seem to be with all your brutality, retaliation and scapegoat-ism tactics, then you should be just as willing to forfeit any proceeds you should incur (inadvertently but certainly not deliberately from any Who Dat) from the upcoming season.
Who Dat.
