I feel your pain, Viking. I am on Salary, so if there's work, I go in. When there's no work, I get to stay home, but that happens about as often as an Indian going to a Redskins game.
Haha...I too am on salary. Cool thing is I'm in the restaurant biz in central Florida...so right about now I'm coasting more often than not. Bad thing is I'm in the restaurant biz in central Florida....come September I'll be working 70 hours a week again.Quote:

Not to mention a team couldn't get away with being called the "Confederates".
Do you think that will go over well?
This is not how a slur is defined.Quote:
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.
