As a proud Scandinavian I have several. What's your address?

I would NEVER give my address over the Internet! Gawd! You can mail it to my job. They'll totally accept it, in case it's Anthrax.

Hey, anthrax was a good band. What's the problem? You don't want your hat? Why do you hate Scandinavians??

Even if one person is offended, it's worth changing the name. If you like to offend people and cause pain of any sort, then you have some issues.

Love all and live in harmony.

I doubt any of my Scandinavian brethren overseas are offended either. They're way to busy enjoying their social democracy eutopia to notice or care about American football.

I am waiting for someone to demand the Yankee name changed. Yankee is a slur as well. Not to mention a team couldn't get away with being called the "Confederates".

Do you think that will go over well?

ps "Vikings" isn't a racial slur.

It can be if used in a derogatory way, just like Redskin, since it wasn't originally a derogatory name. Just like Negro wasn't either.

I mean.. if your ancestors were attacked by Vikings.. you may not like the name.

It's a shameful part of our history, and people just want to ignore and forget about it because it shakes how we define ourselves as Americans. People call ditching Columbus Day revisionist- it's actually the exact opposite. It's acknowledging what actually happened and realizing that it's not something we should be celebrating.

I actually never understood celebrating Columbus day, We gave the dude a Holiday for fucking up. He screwed up, plain and simple. He wasn't even the first.

I hear you. I used to understand as a kid but now that I've learned the whole story I can't understand why we still have this holiday.
