The Minnesota Vikings were dropped for a loss by social media users who reacted to the NFL team’s salute to Arab American Heritage Month, pure virtue signaling that has absolutely nothing to do with football.
In a Wednesday post to X featuring an image of the scowling Scandinavian mascot on a background with the traditional purple and gold colors, the team wished its fans a “Happy Arab American Heritage Month.”
“Honoring the culture, history, and contributions of Arab American communities,” the organization wrote.

While it doesn’t get the attention of Black History Month, Women’s History Month, or Pride Month, Arab American Heritage Month is of great importance to the demographic that it celebrates, and it’s appropriate that the NFL franchise that plays its home games in Minneapolis, aka Little Mogadishu, would honor it.
The once-pristine midwestern city is now the home to a large Muslim community, which is represented by controversial Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and recently made headlines for the rampant “industrial scale” fraud involving members of the Somalian diaspora who fleeced taxpayers out of billions of dollars.
And no, it wasn’t an April Fool’s Day joke.
The post was met by backlash from fans on X who threw the organization for a loss.
Most incredible April Fool’s post I’ve seen today! Well done!

You’re named the Vikings because Minnesota was settled by northerners.
Now you’re invaded by savages and embracing it. Should be ashamed of yourselves.

The ONLY group or category that a sports team should “honor” is its fan base.
Your post is not “inclusive,” as claimed, it is divisive.
You will never be able to give proportional credit to every interest group because proportionality is subjective and interest groups are…

Arab American? What type of nonsense is that. You are either American, or Arab, you don’t get to be both.
When did the NFL turn into a bunch of pussies filled with woke retards that seem to hate American values?

Not aware of any contributions from Arab American communities besides leaching off taxpayers

In 2022, then-President Joe Biden declared April as Arab American Heritage Month (NAAHM), rewarding years of lobbying from Arab American organizations.
“The history and story of the Arab American community is deeply woven into the diverse tapestry of America. This National Arab American Heritage Month, I thank the community for all that you have done to help move us forward and for representing the best of who we are,” the geriatric Democrat wrote on social media at the time.
The Vikings may be running up the score when it comes to pushing divisive “woke” politics, but are struggling with mediocrity on the field, posting a 9-8 record last season and missing the playoffs while watching castoff former QB Sam Darnold hoist the Super Bowl trophy for the Seattle Seahawks.
