I can't see what was wrong with it, or why people would care. They went so far as to rent a boat and do this stuff away from a public place, which is more than what you can say about 99% of the world. Young, ridiculously rich, a week off, of course you're going to have crazy parties!

1. The boat has a crew, including waitresses and bartenders. They were rude and offensive to the help, and well as acting (at best) in a lewd manner in front of them. Preliminary reports are that they were insulting to the crew, such that the crew refused to complete the cruise and returned to the dock, and considered calling the police.

2. The festivities were not confined to the boat. At least one homeowner reported a limo stopping out front and a bunch of Vikes peeing on the lawn.

3. Employees have a responsibilty to their employer, especially in a high-profile industry. This is called professionalism. In exchange for taking the money, you abide by the rules, which in this case include keeping a low public profile. Especially when the team is at the public trough looking for a new stadium. They can kiss that one good-bye, between this and their current record.

4. Stuff like this takes up a lot of time and effort better spent on other things, like trying to win a football game. Which again is what they get paid for.

5. The Vikings have done nothing this year to deserve a party.
