This Minnesota Vikings fan was doing the team proud while downing a few brews before yesterday's game and whacking people with a switch, apparently in support of Adrian Peterson.
She made new friends...

And didn't embarrass Vikings fans at all.

So far, the woman's name has not been revealed. Online, some people claiming to know her claim someone gave her the switch and she was just joking.
Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy tried to find her but had no luck. No matter. There were other fans to be used to portray Minnesota as a parental backwater.
