KARE 11 and the Star-Tribune are both reporting on an incident alleged to have taken place on a chartered Lake Minnetonka cruise involving a number of Vikings players and women believed to be hired pros (strippers). The incident is still under investigation.

According to one report:

A woman who apparently was working as a hostess on one of the boats called Mound police about 7:30 p.m. to report possible prostitution, drugs and sex acts, according to police reports.

The charter company, Al and Alma's, has confirmed that the cruise was chartered by a Vikings' player and was cut short when the captains of the cruise boats involved reported what was transpiring.

"Apparently more happened than expected," Doyle said. "(Al and Alma's) received a call from one or both captains reporting that - and immediately ordered the boats to return."

One must bear in mind that the incidents described in the reports are still under investigation, however, I hope to see some follow-up in the media, and if these reports are substantiated, that those involved are prosecuted.

I find it disturbing that pro-sports figures are so often caught with their pants down and involved in behavior that is inappropriate. They should extend themselves to lead lives of example that will have a positive influence on America's youth, setting an example for kids to follow and being true heroes to them, and not behave like overgrown apes who can't get enough at home.
