The New Orleans community is clearly not remotely over the infamous blown call that cost its beloved Saints a chance at playing in Super Bowl LIII. During Sunday night’s Mardi Gras festivities, a marching group called “Robbin’ Refs” came out with some heavy criticism against Roger Goodell and the NFL, along with a float called “Willful Blindness.”
"NOLA No Call" has been a huge part of #MardiGras19
But @Le_Krewe_dEtat may have taken the satire to new heights!

Yeah. Not even close to being over it. And who can blame them? That missed call was one of the worst in modern NFL history, and it happened when the stakes were as high as they could possibly be.
The NFL has moved on, but the city of New Orleans may never take that step.
