If you're truly proud of your Vikings heritage, you'd be a fan of every sports team nicknamed Vikings like Cleveland State Vikings and Minnesota Vikings.
My title says Viking because Viking is more recognizable for idiots. Obviously theyre Vikings dipshit. doesn't mean their heritage is viking. How have you even survived this long with your intelligence?
A man can also kill someone, doesn't mean he gets off scotch free. I know plenty native americans. And every one of them hates the Redskins. Do you also believe that anyone with a last name of Smith automatically seeks to become a blacksmith? Thats not how life works. Is that your elementary school teacher told you? How cute. Two drinks of prosecco and I am using fuck like a comma.
They still showed your heritage team respect by naming them Vikings. What if they'd named their team a rival of the Vikings heritage? You'd be outraged then.
I am not denying that rape didn't exist. I am just saying it wasn't as prevelant as people think. People say the same thing about modern day America. I dont know why people seem to think like that. It is so black and white. People think it is one or other and the real world isn't like that. Wild concept. I know. And I have resources that there were shiledmaidens like Lagertha that existed.
the reason people think that way is because most people are stupid. but im wondering what if tomorrow you live like a viking would you agree whith there way of life? like killing innocent, rape and slavery would you still be able to say your proud? love your take on this do.
I think its pretty DUMB to acknowledge only that the viking were brutal, rapist... etc
First : Every race was like that in specific era !!! you can look that up through the whole history that each one of them ( race ) did something bad and good. that was simply the norm back then.
Second : Just like they did bad things, they have great achievements too in their community back then not just the invasions but also the moral code they acquired is very impressive. and there is nothing wrong with being PROUD with your ancestry no matter who you are or where you came from.
Third : are you seriously gonna ask her if she would be ok NOW to be a viking? wtf dude LOL
@Alpha89s you just read my mind. Every culture raped, murdered, and pillaged for fun. At least during the viking period, all rape was punishable by death. In modern day America, Brock Turner only had to serve three months of his originally six month sentence and he was caught in the act of rape. So who is really the barbarians? As much as I would love to go full Viking, no one is Norse enough. And I would go to jail for murder and destruction of property.

On my mother's side I can trace up to a Viking Warrior.

Hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahaha
Why is that funny?
What does liking a sports team have to do with my heritage? If it makes you feel better, my dad likes the Minnesota Vikings
Because they share the same nickname.
Whatever you want to believe.
It's not whatever I believe. It's whatever you believe if you care for all Vikings.
Wow you're dumb
How am I dumb? You're the one who said you're proud of your Viking heritage.
And? The goddamn team isn't all Norseman. Why would I care?
You didn't say Norseman heritage, you said Vikings heritage and they are all Vikings. They are called the Vikings. Each player is a Viking.
My title says Viking because Viking is more recognizable for idiots. Obviously theyre Vikings dipshit. doesn't mean their heritage is viking. How have you even survived this long with your intelligence?
It isn't true that a man can't touch a woman without her consent. A man has the ability to do so even if it's illegal.
If you're truly proud of your Vikings heritage, then everything that carries the Vikings name would be of importance to you.
Wusses cuss.

Because Redskins is derogatory like faggot is but Vikings isn't derogatory.
Plenty of Blackhawks and Warriors too. Many people love team nicknames that resembles their heritage too.
Blacksmiths is a profession, not a team name.
What if I say it is? They dont resemble my heritage. Theyre are from Minne-fuckin-sota
They still showed your heritage team respect by naming them Vikings. What if they'd named their team a rival of the Vikings heritage? You'd be outraged then.
No, I wouldn't care. I would prefer that.
So if they called themselves something that poked fun of Vikings, you'd prefer that? Why?
None of your business why. And I have a dark sense of humor so it doesn't matter to me.
Vikings are not dark nor humorous. Most are serious minded.
Your ancestors are watching you from Valhalla. Make them proud.
I'm fairly glad you posted pics of Ragnar lol. Favorite person ever in history no doubt.
so your saying that there not brutal rapists, and villains. but then you recomend a show where they do the exact thing?
I am not denying that rape didn't exist. I am just saying it wasn't as prevelant as people think. People say the same thing about modern day America. I dont know why people seem to think like that.

The vikings were actually quite progressive. I probably won't be okay with murder but not much you can do.
I think its pretty DUMB to acknowledge only that the viking were brutal, rapist... etc

Do you have any legitimate sources you'd like to cite? You can't very well claim history is wrong and then not cite any sources.
Good take. Having your Father forge a sword for you is very cool.
U should be proud they look manly AF
love this take. the Vikings were badass!
See you in valhalla!!!
It is good to be proud of your ancestors.
Love this!
Vikings? You're somewhere from Scandinavia?
No my ancestors were. It was my great-grandparents who immigrated to the US.
love this
Good
You should be proud.
