according to footballnation.com Kluwe was ranked 27th overall last season. No reason to keep an overpaid veteran when he is so easily replaced.

Ah, well, thank you for the inside scoop. Always follow the money. I read the article, and I’m still uncertain about Kluwe’s reasons. Homo? (NOT that I care).

I’ve read the average career in the NFL is 3 years.

And the average career for a sucktard kicker is the end of that game.

I don’t know what his reasons are. He went from being a halfway decent punter to a very strident, extremely loud and far too verbose activist.

He has not learned the lesson of Phil Robertson, which is that a vast number of people in this country are sick and tired of being told by liberals how they have to think.

He was sure ignorant as all get out to continue spewing that crap.

NOBODY except the homos want to hear from actresses, actors and particularly athletes about homosexual crap.

It's worse than that. He played at least half of his games INSIDE. Kickers and punters that play in a dome need to have better numbers than those who don't.

Nice red herring there. It’s not about the 2nd Amendment, it’s about support for sodomy.

Punters don’t really play football.

I know several high school and college punters who played other positions well. One linebacker on the local HS team was called into service to punt after the punter went down on the previous punt. Kicked the ball from the end zone to the five yard line of the other team with a 15 yd roll.

Oh. Sure. There are football players (ie linebackers, free safeties, quarterbacks, etc.) that may kick a ball from time to time, but punters—per se—don’t really play football;

“I theenk I keek a touchdown” just doesn’t cut it.

Dear NFL Punter:

so what?

In all the years that you have been shown to be an icon of what American Sportsmanship, teamwork, and individual pursuit of excellence demonstrates, what is that coming out of your mouth?

Take it like a man, suck it up, and go away, quietly.

"Nice red herring there. It’s not about the 2nd Amendment, it’s about support for sodomy."

No it is not. You are trying to project your faith onto me. It is not wanted and will not be tolerated. You have a right to believe what ever you wish but that does not make it true, right, or acceptable to others.

This is about the ability to express an opinion, a belief, or your thoughts based on your personal point of view. The big "BUT" here is that if you get to express your faith based beliefs every other person governed by our constitution gets to express their thoughts, ideas and beliefs no matter if you agree with them or not!!!! Their thoughts, beliefs, and thoughts, are not going to be negated any any way just because you do not believe in the same way. They have as much right to express themselves as you do!!!!!

Muslims seem to think they have some right to impose their god and doctrine on us as well and I consider them, one and all, to be zealots and bigots. Do you really think you have the right to join them in the imposition of only your beliefs and faith being forced on others?

One last thing, a Zealot, no matter what flavor, are by definition not rational, seldom truthful and are always dangerous.

Nice try with the straw-man argument, it failed.

translation: I was an NFL player until my price outweighed my usefulness, then I became a disgruntled former NFL player looking for excuses for why “former” is now before “NFL player” in my bio

First of all, you don't even know if I have “faith”. Believe it or not, many people who are not all that religious believe that sodomy is wrong.

Your attempt to connect the support of sodomy to other issues conservatives voice approval of is actually a tactic often employed by non-conservatives to make a point.

Additionally, if you support this guy and what he says, why not just come out and say so instead of couching it in a lot of silly “outrage”.

Also, no one, I repeat no one kept him, or you from expressing an opinion. No one “projected” faith on you, no one is a “zealot” for expressing an opinion that what he did in fact support was approval of sodomy.

So, I suggest you chill out a bit, calm down and if you are in favor of him and what he stands for, then say that instead of a lot of juvenile pissiness. Have a nice day!
