Joseph Juranitch has played the part of Ragnar, the Minnesota Vikings Mascot, since 1993, and has never missed a game since 1994. Last Sunday, Joseph sat at home and watched the game on TV. In his instagram pic he says, it's not by his choice.

Some of Ragnar's biggest fans got together and have drafted an online petition to reinstate the beloved mascot. The only "human" mascot in all of professional sports. He is the first to arrive on his loud motorcycle and rallies the fans into a frenzy for the home team. He is recognized around the world and even has a big following on the internet.
