Chris Kluwe blasts Vikings organization, accuses them of bigotry
Fox Sports ^ | 01/02/2014 | Jimmy Traina

In an explosive column written for Deadspin, former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe says he is "pretty confident" his May release from the team was because of his outspoken support of gay marriage.

Kluwe also accuses Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer of being a bigot and blasts former coach Leslie Frazier and general manager Rick Spielman, calling them cowards.

Kluwe was an average, overpaid punter. Despite punting in a dome(a huge advantage) he was not that great of a punter but thought he was an expert on just about everything. Despite being overpaid, he says he was a victim because of his support of gay rights. He attacks the Vikings organization. His stories may or may not be true.

Kluwe doesn’t have a clue. But that’s a given. No lefties do.

Maybe the NFL needs to modify the Rooney Rule to require drafting a certain number of gay players for each team?

Does he mention the fact that he was grossly overpaid and piss-poor at his job? He hasn’t been picked up by another team because he sucked. The coach he called a “bigot” should demand satisfaction.

Maybe he could claim someone wrote anti-gay remarks on his pay stub.

He’d have a better argument if the Vikings hadn’t done the same thing the year before with their place kicker to make some cap room - and he wasn’t a loudmouth. When it happened to the kicker he said: “Unfortunately, that’s the business of the NFL; we all get replaced eventually.” Yeah, and that includes you, pal.

Zigi Wilf, the owner, is a liberal and supported Obama in 2008 (I assume 2012). Liberals are “open-minded, tolerant and diverse,” Chris.

While his fellow owners were donating to dozens of different candidates individually, Zygmunt “Zygi” Wilf kept it simple, with a single $25,000 check to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

I’m taking your summery of the situation as my own.

In regard to sodomy, my bigotry, like my disgust, is defiantly absent apology.

Sounds like he was a punting ponce. Good riddance.

(Not a vikings fan either.)
