Kluwe is clearly a dbag, but the organization might be worse

Isn't he suing because the Vikings promised to release all the information from their investigation into the anti-gay remarks made by the special teams coach and only released a 1.5 page report?

In the report they released they tried to discredit Kluwe and that is why he is acting out on twitter.

I dont see how this doesnt explode. Didnt Kluwe essentially admit in those tweets, that he has information about a potential sexual assault on an underage girl? And if so, isn't that something that law enforcement would aggressively pursue?.

Pretty sure it all started with him being released and him thinking it was because of his stances not his performance. Which his stances has left him unemployed in the NFL


As far as cops looking into his tweets I'm not sure about what would/should happen

Yeah his release was the initial case, the suit over the report from the team is the recent development.

He probably post on these boards.. Sounds like the dude is looking to get himself shot the way he's running his mouth. He didn't just go at the Vikes brass, he went at 2 players as well. They might not be feeling secure with those comments.

This could really hurt Tarvaris Jackson's chances of signing with another team.

I'm all for gay rights and shit, but I would enjoy it if Kluwe would just STFU.

Yeah, he really does. He wrote his book, his word is out there, enough already. He is trying to make his firing about his views; the fact of the matter is NFL teams want to pay punters the league minimum. The vikings drafted a guy who performed pretty much exactly the same as Kluwe for a million dollars less; the Raiders, hell, they had a guy with alot more leg. Kluwe even wrote an article about how he helped the Raiders punter in camp and he admitted the guy had more power than he did. Also probably cost a shitload less and had alot less of a mouth.

He's smart enough to know that, too, but he is also smart enough to know that people believe what they want to, even if facts to the contrary are right in their face. NFL teams are about winning, and punters do not help you win in most cases. Okay, maybe one or two out there are consistent weapons to be reckoned with, but Kluwe is not nor has ever been one of them.

I am not sure what he is going for. Trying to embarrass the Vikings? The NFL? It could come out tomorrow that the NFL is run by terrorists who are seeking to enforce Sharia law on the entire US, and it would still be the most popular thing in the country by a fair margin. It is a fight that cannot be won, at least not on the terrain he is fighting it on because most people just don't give a shit.

They fucking deserve LESS than the league minimum. You're a god damned punter. All you fucking do is kick the ball and then go stand on the sidelines until it's your turn to kick the ball. You could be replaced by a fucking jugs machine.
