New Orleans Mardi Gras Parade Floats Tease Louisiana Sports Figures

When it comes to New Orleans Mardi Gras, there are not many things that are off limits, but certainly not with the Knights of Chaos. Movie stars, sports figures, referees, public officials, and so many others have been teased by the Krewe through the years.

The Knights of Chaos, a highly satirical and frequently contentious krewe that parodies politicians, celebrities, and other prominent figures, unveiled a float in which Carr appeared as the 2023 season's "Red Zone Zombie," emerging from the grave.

A sign that said, "4th down, 90 million to go," appeared next to Carr's replica. As Carr lowered his arm to pass, a swarm of ghosts surrounded his picture, booing him furiously. In some of the videos that have surfaced, spectators followed suit with booing as well, which also happened a few times during the year inside Caesar's Superdome.

Photos and Videos from the float have gone viral over X (formerly Twitter). Here are some of the reactions...

Carr wasn't the only sports figure that was featured in the parade. LSU Star Gymnast Olivia "Livvy" Dunne was also included. Dunne has one of the largest social media followings in college athletics. She is also one of the highest-paid female athletes in NIL. The float made fun of just that...

The float, which went through Uptown New Orleans, mocked Dunne by depicting her carrying money bags atop the platform. Below the parody of Dunne, there was a sign that read, "LIVVY DUNNE IT."

This Mardi Gras season and ones in the future, Carr and Dunne won't be the only celebs to be teased by floats, but the Knights of Chaos have certainly done one that not many will soon forget. Try to top that one...
