Well shit man, the Vikings stole and raped and murdered all up and down Europe. They were prolific pirates in their time. Why doesn't anyone care that there are sports teams with names like Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or Minnesota Vikings?
Pirates aren't a race of people. Neither are Buccaneers. And if you want to claim that the NAME Viking is offensive, go ahead. But we're talking about the logo.
The ONLY thing you've complained about the Vikings logo is that it has the horns, which for some reason was a created characteristic that was (wrongly) associated with the Vikings.
And somehow I think that horns on a drawing aren't as dehumanizing as a logo drawn to emphasize non white difference in them.
