Since this is ridiculous anyway I think Green Bay should pick Greenland and the Vikings should pick all the Nordic Countries and Iceland.

Its crappy of the NFL to show Taiwan as a part of China on their map. Typical corporate move.

Saying it’s “pointless” Is denying that there is a connection between America’s history and the European continent. The Saints are represented by their symbol because it has an attachment to the history of New Orleans, Quebec, and France. It’s not just pulled out of a hat like you are Insinuating. The Vikings are in Minnesota because Scandinavian people settled there. The Tampa Bay Vikings wouldn’t make sense. It’s not always the case, But without a doubt, some teams have ties back to European roots.
