Landry\u2019s move wrapped serious economic stakes in a layer of comedy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but no one missed the symbolism: crawfish isn\u2019t just food here, it\u2019s heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

defend Cajun traditions, and turn \u201cmudbug diplomacy\u201d into a national calling card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some critics rolled their eyes at the theatrics; others saw genius in using a beloved sports icon to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
spotlight a struggling industry. As the press conference ended, it felt less like a stunt and more like a dare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
