Vikings to review 'refugee' confrontation by fan

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings say they will investigate an incident from Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks and talk with a Minneapolis man who said he was confronted by another fan demanding to know if he was a refugee.

In an editorial for the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Deepinder Mayall -- an attorney and the director of the Advocates for Human Rights' Refugee and Immigrant Program -- said he attended his first Vikings game on Sunday when a man at TCF Bank Stadium pushed aside other fans, put his finger in Mayell's face and said he needed to make sure Mayell wasn't a refugee.
