I grew up in Minnesota and have literally never heard anyone ever say this about me or any other person of Scandinavian origin.

You've never heard of your NFL football team?
Sport team names have nothing to do with declaring ancestry.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Las Vegas Raiders?
Do you think the LA Rams have that name to claim ancestry?
You're absolutely correct.
"They are named after the Vikings of medieval Scandinavia, reflecting the prominent Scandinavian American culture of Minnesota."
