I really can't decide if I like Kluwe or not. He's obviously smart, which I like, but he also seems like a drama queen, which I dislike.

This could get interesting.

Kluwe for a cause is awesome. Kluwe for himself (which is how he is coming across now) is just... I don't know, douchey.

What is he even suing for? Is he trying to get monetary damages for people making gay remarks that he didnt like?

Essentially yes and I think he expects the Vikings expect to pay him (which he has promised to donate to LGBT Rights fund or something) to shut him up or he will take down the whole organization which is why I asked if he was essentially extorting them at this point. Just imagine if what he left out was the Vikings and the players involved bribed the girls parents to not press charges for rape. Could you imagine two "well known" Vikings going to prison for rape while crucial members of the Vikings front office go to prison for obstruction of justice in a rape case with an under age girl? The League would be in for a world of shit, the Vikings organization wouldn't see a first round draft pick for half a decade or more. This shit could escalate very quickly, depending on exactly what happened.

Well that also raises the question that if Kluwe knew about it, why didnt he call the cops?

Yeah this shit could get really fucking interesting really fast, he could claim they threatened his job but I feel like that we are speculating to much atm but that's just a testament to how fucking shocking and just vague enough to let your imagination run wild, That or I've smoked a fuck ton of weed and can't stop laughing at the possibilities.

They basically fired him for being pro gay and now he's saying he's effectively blacklisted from the league due to how they've portrayed him. So from his side, no he's not suing just because people said bad things and hurt his feelings. At least that's the way I read it earlier in the week, but I did just skim the article. This shit is total drama mode now though, it does seem a little petty but I think he's extending himself as a brand personality as much as anything. Probably knows he's getting a settlement at this point regardless.

Tarvaris Jackson and Sidney Rice are pretty pissed right now I imagine.
Yea, they paid off that girl's family for nothing now.

I want this to go nuclear. The NFL needs a huge ego check no matter the form it comes in. It is getting harder every year to like the league. Product on the field is still amazing though.

Because he wants his 15 minutes of fame, just like every other drama queen. It's obvious at this point that he's simply trying to line his pockets.

Per source, Kluwe walked around multiple times with hole in the back of his shorts, claiming to be a Sandusky victim.
Cool, glad to see we're dealing with a quality guy here. How is making jokes about decades of child rape not actually worse than some nobody special teams coach calling random football players "faggots" or whatever?

He's already blackballed from the league and the Vikings probably have enough on his own behavior like above to defeat his lawsuit, so why not blow the lid off the "locker room code" we're always told about? Jose Canseco 2.0? Just the totally less famous, will be forgotten about by the time training camps start,kickerversion.

He needs the public support. If he was out to pocket the money, it would be turned against him. He will get rich off of it in other ways, there is always a quid pro quo even if you are giving someone a bunch of free money

Not exactly, he's trying to say he was wrongfully fired. Because his charity supports LBGT rights and one coach wants to nuke all faggots.

Either way he's a fucking douchebag drama queen.
