"I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards and a Bigot"
The Vikings organization and the NFL could be sued if any of this is true from the special teams coordinator.
I can't imagine the depths of lawsuits that would accrue if any leader in my organization said some of the things that the special teams coordinator said. Not to turn this into a Duck Dynasty/religion conversation but you can have your opinion, you just can't say those vile things ("nuke it until it glows") while representing your organization. http://deadspin.com/i-was-an-nfl-pla...208214#replies |

the difference is PR doesn't suck at what he does, his job, he's very good at being an entertainer on television.
Kluwe, actually isn't a good punter. It's like if Jason Collins wrote to deadspin saying the New Jersey Nets wont sign him because Jason Kidd is a bigot. No, they probably won't because you are not a good player. |

I don't think nearly enough people actually thought about what he said.... They're just here for the bashing.

Well, according to his story, there were people within the organization that wanted to destroy his life, putting him out of work, because they disagreed with him.

Phil Robinson wasn't repeatedly asked to stop making public comments by his employer. In fact, the product A&E purports to sell is the Phil Robinson reality. By contrast, the Vikings are only interested in Kluwe's ability to kick the ball.

If you look at all the dui's, domestic assaults, rapists, and even killing of people done by people who are signed by NFL teams after said crimes a guy speaking out on a political issue wouldn't be watching this season if people thought he was better than what they had.

he fell off a cliff his last two years, they drafted a guy at 1/4 the price to do the same thing. It's a business. They did it the year before at kicker with Ryan Longwell and got Blair Walsh who made the Pro Bowl.

There's always going to be racism, there's always going to be hatred, there's always going to be terrorism, and there's always going to be the Denver Broncos. You can try to change it, but people are who they are, stay away from the one's you don't agree with and your life will be better for it.

Nonsense. His timing rationale makes complete sense whether you agree with him or not. There may be unstated reasons for the timing as well, but I don't see any reason to dismiss that one and it certainly does make a difference in terms of the position it puts his former teammates in.

FTR, Kluwe didn't say anything about suing the NFL or the Vikings.
