Can we launch a campaign to change the team named the Vikings due to how offensive it is to those of Scandinavian decent?

because I am offended. OFFENDED!

(what other names can we get changed? :popcorn: )
I'm confused.  Are you offended because you are of Scandahoovian descent and don't like the fact that there are horns on the helmet (which no self respecting Viking EVER had) or are you offended because your ancestors where visited by Vikings, whose visits where entirely misunderstood.




Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

a.) my ancestors (well, half of them) ARE Swedes.

b.) stop trying to bring up logic while I am being all offended like. it interrupts the flow of outrage.

The Redskins could solve their problem if they'd change their mascot to a potato.

Then Idaho would be offended.
