My point is teams use names involving groups of people they found to be warriors or found to be tough in some way. The Celtics, Maple Leafs, Rangers, Blue Jackets, Yankees, Pirates, Buccaneers, Mariners, Patriots, 49ers, Vikings, Titansand to a lesser extent the Senators (since they use a roman Senator as their logo) are all names after various groups of people.
As a person of Nordic decent I am not offended by the stereotypical use of a Viking in the Minnesota Viking logo.
