Viking hearts are breaking everywhere. Minnesota lakes are overflowing with tears. The idiots at the capitol are apparently doing nothing to proceed with the financing of a new stadium. They are doing nothing to keep the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota. They were elected to make decisions yet they won't. Instead of doing what they were elected to do they are sending the decision to a voter referendum. That won't take place for another year. A year after the lease on the Metrodome expires. The Vikings can't wait another year. They've been waiting for a decade. They even stepped aside so that the Twins and the University could get new stadiums. They've waited. They've waited long enough. The Wilf family and the Vikings have done everything asked of them. They've done more than was asked of them. They've done far more than the 49ers who seem to be waltzing into a stadium with little effort. The Minnesota legislators won't be legislators long if they let the Vikings walk out of the state.
Personally, I don't think that the Vikings will leave Minnesota. I'm typically optimistic and I just don't see it happening. The legislators simply can't be that stupid. Politicians usually drop a few IQ points as soon as they take office, but they just can't be that stupid. I should temper my optimism. No one thought that the Cleveland Browns or Baltimore Colts would bolt their loving homes. I can't temper my optimism. I still say that the Vikings stay. No state that has lost the Lakers and the North Stars can lose their football team too. No one's that stupid. Not even politicians. If needed there will be a last minute save. Hopefully, we don't have to wait that long.
