    When are Scandinavians going to finally stand up and unite to wipe out the use of the Viking as a school mascot? Viking themed mascots portray Scandinavians in a negative light, It doesn't allow for young people or Americans to actally see Scandinavian people as contributors or as a contemporary people.

    How about the Irish? the Boilermakers? the Buccaneers and Pirates?....
