                  Decision calls for removal of all logos* by Aug. 1, 2021”

*Logos:  Indians and Warriors

Dear Editor:

      In an era when everyone finds themself a victim and when everyone looks for a reason to be righteously indignant, I too, find myself severely offended.

      How insensitive of the Minnesotans to name a football team after my ancestors, as if they were pagan savages.  Or worse, animals like lions, tigers, bears, or broncos.

     Won’t some do-gooders band together and help us of Norse descent rid ourselves of this embarrassing and humiliating reminder that our ancestors weren’t always very nice people?

      Maybe it’s p-c because the Vikings were, after all, white guys.

      As soon as we get Minnesota to change its offensive mascot, we can go after Dallas.  If you can’t have Indians, you can’t have Cowboys.

      Mark Twain said, “In the first place, God made idiots.  That was for practice.  Then he made school boards.”

      What can you expect from an unpaid, totally thankless job?
