NFL Teams Avoid Columbus Day, Sparking Backlash Over Indigenous Peoples' Day Posts

On the federal holiday of Columbus Day, no NFL team or the league itself acknowledged the date on social media. While 29 teams remained silent, the Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Rams posted tributes to Indigenous Peoples' Day, a non-federal holiday. These posts triggered significant backlash from fans, with critics noting the irony of the Vikings' name and disputing the political framing of the holiday. The silence from most teams suggests a desire to avoid the political controversy surrounding the date, especially as President Trump has actively promoted Columbus Day and the restoration of his statues.

Why the Norse arrival in North America remains a footnote to Columbus

Norse explorers reached North America around 1000 CE, 500 years before Columbus, but their temporary settlements failed to establish permanent European presence. While Columbus’s 1492 voyage triggered lasting colonization and trade, the Vikings’ impact remained limited to archaeological traces and medieval sagas. Modern debates over Columbus Day highlight the contrast between fleeting exploration and enduring imperial consequence.

Trump Declares 'Plunder' of Columbus Statues Ended as He Courts Italian American Voters

President Donald Trump has intensified his campaign to restore Christopher Columbus statues and honor the explorer, framing the removal of such monuments as 'plunder' by the 'radical left.' In a Truth Social post on October 11, 2026, and a White House event on October 9, Trump declared that the era of statue removal is over, citing a new 13-foot replica installed on White House grounds. This push coincides with declining approval ratings due to high fuel prices and the war with Iran, prompting Trump to target Italian American voters ahead of the midterm elections. Critics, including those who support Indigenous Peoples' Day, argue that honoring Columbus glorifies the exploitation and genocide of Native peoples, a view Trump dismisses as an attack on American heritage.
