I can’t believe it’s been six weeks since the controversial no-call in the NFC title game that eventually sent the New Orleans Saints dreams of heading the Super Bowl up in smoke.
Well, the city of New Orleans, more specifically Krewe d’Etat, gave us a friendly reminder over the weekend that they still aren’t over it. How exactly did they show their disdain with the officials in the NFC Championship game? By having the entire Krewe dress up as blind refs.
"NOLA No Call" has been a huge part of #MardiGras19
But @Le_Krewe_dEtat may have taken the satire to new heights!

The krewe wasn’t done though and it was evident by their float aptly named “Willful Blindness” which features a caricature of Roger Goodell and the letters NFL spelled out in Braille.
