And millions of Americans were furious with a Saints fan in the crowd who apparently had a whistle. The sound pierced through television sets everywhere and fans took to Twitter to express their displeasure.

January 20, 2019 The fan with the whistle needs to be thrown out of the stadium - or murdered. Too much?

January 20, 2019 Why aren't the #saints being penalized for that fan blowing a whistle every 2 seconds?

January 20, 2019 It turns out, that's a man-made whistle. A notrious Saints fan, known as "Whistle Monsta" is the one behind all the madness.
Those asking about the whistles from the crowd on saints/rams game. The Saints have a super fan nicknamed “whistle man” .. no joke .. have met him many times, great guy. He wears a whistle costume to games. He has the loudest, most piercing natural whistle I have ever heard.

January 20, 2019 If you could only pick one, which one would you mute for the rest of the game? #LARvsNORT: Joe BuckLike: Whistle Man pic.twitter.com/qdgzrpoECU
