Brett Favre has not decided if he will be back with the Vikings for the 2010-2011 NFL Season. Vikings are such common mascots in American sports because Americans see vikings as vicious and powerful. If a team is called the vikings, it is trying to symbolize that the team is strong and victorius, just like the historical vikings were. Most people in the Viking age were scared of them, so if a team is named the Vikings, they want people to be scared of them.
