The Minnesota Vikings ended their football season several weeks ago. At the same time Mike Tice, the head coach was fired. One of the problems that didn't enhance Tice's Viking's career was a boat trip some of the team members took a while back. There were allegations of sexual impropriety that happened on the cruise. People were embarrassed and disappointed by it.
Robert Bly, a modern day poet and "Men's movement guru" has had males paint their faces, don loin clothes, and beat drums to get in touch with the primal male inside. It is a chance to get back to their roots.
Maybe that is how we should look at the Viking's cruise boat incident. If you go back to the original Vikings, they did a lot of raping and pillaging. Perhaps this was just an opportunity to go back to their roots at least on the raping part. I guess the pillaging may come later. (maybe with the advent of a new stadium).
The males who beat drums know that this is just part of a artificially contrived paid activity to provide the participant with new insight, The Vikings may have had the same idea in mind by hiring prostitutes to play the part of the raped woment.
I think we should lighten up on the boys in purple. A little compassion and understanding may be in order here. It's better when we know who we are and where we came from.
