The Minnesota Vikings will attempt to keep a winning streak alive Thursday night at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Vikings play the Washington Redskins at 7:20 p.m.
It's the first matchup between Kirk Cousins and his former team as well as with some former Vikings, including Adrian Peterson and Case Keenum. (snip) Thousands of people are expected to surround the stadium during the "Not Your Mascot" rally. Protesters say the Washington Redskins mascot is offense and degrading to Native Americans.

What next? Harsher punishment for scalpers?

I live in a DC suburb and around here they call them "The Skins". If they don't want to say Redskins...just change the name to Swamp Things. That mascot would be hilarious. What about The Vikings logo? A white guy with blonde hair? tsk tsk.

American Indians (I refuse to use the PC “native Americans”) don’t seem to care much about the name so what’s the big deal? The protesters need to grow the F up.

Is not the Viking mascot just as offensive? Or is it because Norway is all white that it isn't? Seems racist to me.

The easiest solution of all is to keep the name Redskins and change the mascot to a potato.

Always got a kick out of the Thanksgiving game pitting the Cowboys against the {Indians) Redskins.

These people really have too much time on their hands. It's not an insult, people, to name a mascot after an American Indian or tribe. The Atlanta Braves have to put up with this nonsense year after year. This year, the "perpetually offended" demanded the Braves' fans stop the tomahawk chop in the stands. (That's not going to happen.) Brave Chief Nokahoma had to be banished from the stadium years ago because of protesters. I'm so sick of all this PC nonsense. You don't like the mascot, tough. You don't like the chop, tough. Call your psychiatrist or somebody who cares. It's certainly not the majority who live, work, and play in our great country.

Anyone care to comment about the history of the Vikings?

I always thought the naming process to be a compliment if it was honoring someone or something. I guess times have changed and offensiveness occurs at all levels. Yet, in our community, the high school is named Pirates? Just makes no sense to me. . .

As a very distant descendant of the Norse people (at about 1/128, I am more Norse than Warren is Indian) I am offended by the Minnesota Vikings' use of my ancestral people as a mascot. So where do I sign up for reparations?

Let me guess, 100 protestors show up, all paid by the normal lie-beral suspects, who will then go home to Mommy's basement to play video games.

Good thing it's a night game. The Cellar-Dweller protesters aren't used to sunlight.

The NFL and NBA are dead to us and not welcomed in our house any longer.

Would their defensive line be referred to as the four skins?

You can get protestors in DC for just about anything, except protestors against Schiff. I hope that changes.

Live in the western burbs! I am 33 miles from the stadium and think I’m right on the border of safety after dark! Will be watching from my living room! The Vikings and Minneapolis are going to end up with 10000 people at games if they don’t get Antifa Soy Boys under control!
