This sums it up pretty well.Kluwe is clearly a dbag, but the organization might be worse
I'm with you guys, fuck Chris Kluwe!Kluwe: NFL favors wife beaters, drunk drivers over gay rights supporters | ProFootballTalk
Kluwe just put Rice on notice, suspension incoming(thinking it always was but it probable just grew a couple games). Guy might be a douche, but he knows how to push buttons.
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.I'm all for gay rights and shit, but I would enjoy it if Kluwe would just STFU.
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.Yeah, he really does. He wrote his book, his word is out there, enough already.

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.
One is in LA with a massive TV deal, the other is the Bills.Bills could go for at least $1.1 billion | ProFootballTalk
seems rather cheap considering the clippers are gonna go for 2 billion
