Wanted: The Vikings tickets you were going to burn

A few NFL fans are posting videos of burning tickets in response to the NFL player protest of racial inequality in America.

Enough is enough.

Of course, the NFL already has your money, fans. Burn the tickets if you want, but chances are you’ll be back online printing out new ones once the theatrics are done.

But if not, former Vikings QB Sage Rosenfels today is offering real cash for them.

If anyone is interested in burning or throwing away your Vikings tickets, could I buy them & donate them to poor kids and vets in MN?? pic.twitter.com/tFfUBFjRAJ

In Pittsburgh, Shonda Moats, wife of linebacker Arthur Moat of the Steelers, is organizing a drive to collect Steelers gear from any unhappy fans and redistributing it to people who want it.
