Former Minnesota punter Chris Kluwe says his special teams coordinator made anti-gay comments while Kluwe was with the Vikings, an allegation the coach vehemently denies.
In an article posted Thursday on the website Deadspin, Kluwe wrote that coach Mike Priefer made several anti-gay comments in objection to Kluwes outspoken support of a gay marriage amendment in Minnesota.
Kluwe also says former Vikings coach Leslie Frazier and current general manager Rick Spielman encouraged him to tone down his rhetoric in an effort to reduce distractions to the team. At the same time, Kluwe said, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf expressed support for Kluwes championing of gay rights.

Well, get over it. Normal people don’t like fags.
Leslie Frazier is a black guy, right?
So is there an “app” for calculating which minority prevails?
UGH. Would this guy go away already? Kluwe, you were released because you were no longer one of the best. You were mediocre. They would have kept you—and your big mouth—had you been better. Get over yourself.
He sounds like a vindictive schoolgirl.
A mediocre, big-mouth attention-whore punter. I can’t imagine why teams aren’t lining up to have this guy in their locker room.
These fags act like it's the same thing as yelling fire in a theater. Go to heck. You are what you are.
So what? So what if he made anti-gay comments, so what if he made pro-gay comments. What, you got your precious little feelings hurt? Change the pad on your mangina and get out there and do your {expletive} job.
A whole heck of a lot of people - notably on one particular side of the gay/straight divide - need to grow up, put on their big boy or big girl or big whatever pants and just get over themselves. We have a lot of freedoms here, but freedom from being offended is not one of them. Kind of goes along with that free speech thing. Guess what? My free speech is going to offend you and/or someone else. Big deal. Your free speech and a lot of others offends me. I would never try to quite those voices! Don't try to quite mine, the special teams coach, or anyone else's for that matter.
Vikings owner Zygi Wilf accused of supporting homosexual “marriage”?
He should come out now and deny such accusations.
“If there’s one thing I hope to achieve from sharing this story,” Kluwe wrote, “it’s to make sure that Mike Priefer never holds a coaching position again in the NFL, and ideally never coaches at any level.”
This quotation tells me all I want to know about Chris Kluwe, self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner and valuable addition to any team.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Seems to be a pattern here...
OMG, the coach made antigay remarks. Then the coach be FIRED! (Yes, I know he was fired on Monday for having a poor team.)
It’s so gross and abhorrent.
Transsexuals are too. There isn’t normal at all.

Sorry but what football coach has NOT called players names when they don’t play or practice as expected? “Fag” and “pansy” were our hs football coaches most tame ones, the others cannot be listed here.
