Chris Kluwe Says He Wants Priefer To Get Help (short headline)
Minneapolis Star-Tribune ^ | January 8, 2014 | Michael Rand

Posted on 01/08/2014 11:49:13 AM PST by Colonel_Flagg

As you probably know by now, former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe went full-frontal on the Vikings last week -- accusing special teams coach Mike Priefer of being a "bigot" and implicating Leslie Frazier and Rick Spielman by association. He charged that Priefer made anti-gay slurs in the locker room, and in his initial post at Deadspin, Kluwe wrote:

"If there's one thing I hope to achieve from sharing this story, it's to make sure that Mike Priefer never holds a coaching position again in the NFL, and ideally never coaches at any level." ...

Interestingly, in a Tuesday appearance on Fox Sports Live, Kluwe retreated from his original stance on Priefer. While not backing down from what he alleged, Kluwe said, "After thinking about it, after reflecting on it, I don't think an appropriate punishment is if he never coaches again. I think it would be better if he got therapy, if he got counseling, and then a year or two from now, come back into the league as a role model, help out with LGBT groups, and show people that this is an important issue."

Chris Kluwe refuses to shut up. For the NFL list, if you like.

don’t think the coach needs help, I think he still has the right to feels as he wishes. Perhaps Chrissy needs to reacquaint himself with the 1st amendment.

Homosexual activists always want to see people fired from their jobs. They target someone and then demand he be fired for no reason.

What gets me is that not only ‘must’ Priefer be reprogrammed (if he said what Kluwe claims), he must spread his reprogramming elsewhere to the satisfaction of the left.

It’s character assassination, pure and simple.

Seems like Kluwe is the one who needs help

He sounds like a bitchy, aggrieved woman who has just been dumped by her boyfriend.

Good word for it. Whether or not Priefer actually said what Kluwe claims he said, the end result would be to brainwash him. Not sure how much more tolerant liberalism we can stand in this country.

Chris Kluwe is your typically vicious, hate-filled, angry liberal who will NOT TOLERATE anyone who thinks different than him. As with anyone associated with the largest HATE group(Liberals) in America, either accept what they say or they will try to eliminate you. Chise Kluwe is fixated on everything queer. He is part of the Gaystapo wing of Liberal America.

Dear Chris

We here at the Minnesota Vikings front office respect your right to have an opinion and express your views on controversial subjects.

You should also understand that you were not cut for those views. You were cut because your performance in the last 3 years has declined so rapidly, and you are unable to pin the ball inside the 20, the Offensive coordinator has devised 4th down plays to keep you off the field.

That is how much confidence we have your your ability, or should we say 'former' ability.

We hope you continue to speak out against any injustice, real or perceived by you.

It just won't be in a Vikings uniform.

Thanks and have an enjoyable retirement. We have shopped you around for a trade, but no team wants you anymore than we do.

Good luck in the future.
The Minnesota Vikings.

Given our current OC, those plays would unfortunately have to be drawn in crayon. And our ownership isn't man enough to say something like that. But I like your letter!

think it would be better if he got therapy, if he got counseling

As homosexuality was a mental health issue (and still is) for the past 2 centuries maybe it is you that should seek help..

Kluwe went from Stalinist exile for Priefer to Post-Stalinist punishment of sending Priefer to some psych hospital until he replaces crimethink to goodthink.

So how much time should Priefer spend in Kluwe’s “Gulag Archipelago”? The level of thought and speech control he suggests in that interview is truly frightening.

Kluge wants to destroy this man. Vindictive. If Kluwe would have just shut up and punted he’d still be punting somewhere.

Kluwe is a poster child about those who go out of their way to claim to be tolerant are the most intolerant people around.

He does. Even most of the commenters at the site are ripping Kluwe.
