While I’m pleased with the Vikings’ current winning streak and improved game, I’ll reserve judgment and praise for their recent performance until after this week’s game with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pittsburgh is a good team with a record of 8-5. They will offer the toughest competition the Vikings have faced in the last six weeks.

We’ll finally see if the Vikings are a legitimate playoff contender.

Now I want to go back to an old story called Cruisegate in which alleged Vikings players participated in a sex party with prostitutes aboard a Minnesota cruise ship.

It seems that winning is all that matters to the Minnesota media, fans and Vikings owners.

Now that the Vikings are winning, the media seems to have picked up on this story. The media was convinced that some Vikings players exhibited horrible, immoral, and even illegal behavior.

To date, the media and law enforcement officials have not exonerated the Vikings players who were allegedly involved in Cruisegate. In fact, at least one law enforcement agency has turned the case over to prosecutors for review.

We are now waiting to see what the FBI and the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office do with the case.

Can we assume that the media only reports on improper and illegal behavior by professional athletes when their city’s sports teams are losing? Does the media only care about winning?

I’m not sure of the answers to those questions, but it looks like it.

The fans are also to blame for the fact that the story is protected. When the Vikings were losing, fans were outraged by the Vikings’ alleged actions at Cruisegate. Fans were demanding that law enforcement and team officials take action.

Now that the Vikings are winning, they don’t seem to care about Cruisegate anymore. They only seem to care that their team is winning.

Viking ownership also seems to have turned a blind eye to the whole thing. Shortly after the Crusiegate story broke, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf held a press conference. He promised the Twin Cities community that his team would take care of the players involved and that they would be disciplined.

He did not even deny the alleged actions of his players. Now that his team is winning, he seems to have forgotten his promise to the people of Minnesota.

The actions of the media, Vikings fans and Vikings owners are terrible. I think they only care about winning soccer games. Doing the right thing, being a good and productive citizen, and following the law seems to mean nothing to the media, fans, and owners.

As long as the Vikings are winning, it seems like it’s okay for the Vikings players to do what they want. They are free to urinate on someone’s lawn and then allegedly engage in a sex party with prostitutes. I guess it’s a win-win situation for the devil, isn’t it?
