Minnesota Vikings Mascot Ragnar Wants to Be Paid $20,000 a Game [VIDEO]

Happen to notice anything missing from the Minnesota Vikings' victory Sunday, September 19th, over the Detroit Lions? That's right! Ragnar wasn't there.

According to Deadspin, Ragnar, the motorcycle-riding Vikings mascot, is holding out until the team agrees to give him $20,000 per game.

That would be quite the pay raise for Ragnar, who commanded just $1,500 per game last season.

If the Vikings were to agree to Ragnar's demands, which they probably won't, the mascot would earn nearly $2 million per season. Oh, and did we mention he wants the contract to pay that amount every year for the next ten years? Yep...

Basically, what we're trying to tell you here is that you should drop out of school or quit your job immediately. From there, weasel your way into being the mascot for a professional sports team and wait, because, sooner or later, your time will come.

At least that's what Ragnar seems to think.
