Someone tricked the Minnesota Vikings into saluting a male adult film star.
As part of the team’s #Skolsalute (Skol, a Nordic term that mean’s “cheers” or “good health”) is used to pay tribute to those who are service or have served in the military.
Someone who goes by “Kyle” on Twitter posted, “This is my cousin Joel who served in the Army. He has been an inspiration and someone I look up to for his heroism. He is also a HUGE Vikes fan.”
That “soldier” is actually adult film actor Johnny Sins. Photos of him as a fireman, soldier, police officer and other occupations are used for memes to try and fool people.
The Viking organization was obviously fooled and “Kyle” was able to get a porn star on the over 8,100 square feet Jumbotron at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
