Blond Lives Matter
AITOOW wants Minnesota to change their football team's name and logo? Viking horns were an invention of other cultures to discriminate against Scandinavians.. Actual Vikings never wore them (or were born with them). They were depicted with horns to insinuate that they were evil (devils). I am offended by this callously racist depiction of my ancestors. They were a peaceful people on par with Native Americans (who seem preoccupied with having land that they considered open to all people stolen from them). They should not be associated with such a violent, oppressive sport. I believe there are other teams in amateur athletics that also appropriate this term. They need to be made to change as well.
