BB.BREAKING NEWS: A midnight executive order blindsides Minnesota as Vikings fans wake up trapped in a legal maze no one knew was coming
MINNEAPOLIS — A surprise executive order issued Monday night has pushed tens of thousands of Minnesota Vikings fans into legal chaos — in a way no one in the football world could have imagined.
The order, signed at 11:47 p.m., came just hours after the Vikings finished an emotional game at U.S. Bank Stadium. There was no press conference, no advance notice — just a cold text sent directly to the state’s legal system in the middle of the night, leaving the entire Vikings fan base in shock.
The Mysterious Executive Order — and the Shock It Sent to the Fan Community
The order states that any “massive public disturbances related to a major sporting event” will be viewed under a new, much stricter legal framework. What’s more shocking: The order applies retroactively to game-related incidents within the past 30 days.
What this means:
Fans who participate in large celebrations in downtown Minneapolis could be considered “organized mobs.”
People who share videos of celebrations that block traffic could be called to account.
Some old fan groups that have operated legally for years are suddenly “re-examined.”
In just six hours, Vikings fan forums became a hotbed of activity as thousands of people posted the question:
“What did we do to deserve this?”
