Any Viking involved in what supposedly happened on that boat, and any Viking who wasn't involved but didn't try to stop what was happening, should be booted from the active roster.
Still pay them, if that's what is needed to satisfy union requirements. But under no circumstances allow them on the field to represent the Minnesota Vikings.

Wrong.
There were 4 crew members on each boat. They were told it would be a cruise for players, wives and girlfriends.
20 minutes out they learned they had leased the boats under false pretenses. The supposed wives and girlfriends were high paid strippers.
So take YOUR 20 year old daughter, have her standing behind a bar on a boat serving drinks, sodas, coffee... and there are suddenly five 250-300 lb Vikings standing around the bar blocking her in. They place a "stripper" on the bar and proceed to perform oral sex on her while YOUR daughter is trapped behind the bar forced to watch this at close range. When she tries to get out she's asked if she's going to dance for them later...
Still think everybody on that boat was a willing participant?
No? I didn't think you would.
Did anyone watch Greta last night? The boat's manager( or whatever he was) was on and said he couldn't even say on T. V. the stuff that was going on. Sounds way worse than just watching some strippers. He mentioned open sex acts and masturbation in plain view, many people, in front of crew who were unable to control them and were indeed frightful.
If there were people there who were not willing participants, then I stand corrected.
LOL - well if you insist.
the crew were reportedly afraid because the situation quickly became very wild.
Read the article before commenting. It'll make you seem more informed.
I wonder if off shore drilling is allowed in Minnesota.
The "big deal" is that they had an orgy with the strippers on the boats, essentially, and intimidated the wait staff, expecting them to participate. Now the kids who suffered the misfortune of working that cruise have to be concerned about retaliation for telling the truth about what happened.
This is one of the ugliest things that has ever happened in pro sports, in my opinion.
You sure got that wrong! Completely wrong!
When I lived in Minnesota (12 years ago) they Vikings players were much nicer. "Whiskey" Wade Wilson bought me drinks the night he got busted for DUI in Bloomington.:)AWB
This would not be a problem if the President allowed off shore drilling in Minnesota.
The crew was afraid because while they are trained to handle medical emergencies and severe weather emergencies, they aren't taught how to handle 40 large men engaged in open public sex in the middle of a lake.
I would say intimidated is a more accurate word.
Did I read correctly that there were (sex) toys involved?
Nobody here can figure out why these idiots didn't just go rent a hotel room or go to one of their houses.
Why rent a boat where there will be staff that isn't part of your party?
Did they honestly think nobody would notice or care?
The stupidity is almost as shocking as the behavior.
I wish I could concur - but I can't. Pro athletes are pulling this sort of nonsense all the time. Why? Because we never hold them accountable and keep right on buying those tickets.
I'm afraid I'm lost on the whole 'Whizzinator' thing. Mind filling me in?
And as for the Vikes' behavior...well, it's kind of expected considering that Ray Lewis is still playing. Outraged? Yeah. Shocked? Not really.
You did read correctly.
The used condoms all over the floor of the boats after they left was the good part of the night...
Can't we let the law enforcement in Minnesota do their job before we try and convict the entire team? This story seems to imply an extraordinary level of lawlessness.
Furthermore, it looks to provide an opportunity to prove why states need/should be allowed to have laws that govern sex among consent adults in public places. We cannot allow the left and their MSM to further degrade our society by covering up and ignoring these alleged crimes. But at the same time, we should allow the legal system to function in this case.
Now if the authorities in Minnesota cannot find that a crime has been committed, or lack the will to prosecute, then I would think the citizens of Minnesota should rethink their slavish devotion to the rat party.
I'll bet ANYTHING half those boys are on the down low.
