A few months back, I watched a long form interview with Chris Kluwe. I think it was The Dan Patrick Show, but I'm not a hundred percent sure. Anyhow, DP asked him point blank if he lost his job with the Vikings because of his pro-gay viewpoints. He said something to the effect of no, or he could not say for certain. He also pointed out that was likely a business decision as he was the highest paid punter. And, if my memory isn't faltering, I think the Vikes offered him to stay with a paycut and he declined. I'm thinking that was discussed in the interview too.
Now, today, Kluwe comes out with this crap, which is completely opposite of his answer. The dude is a total f'ing phony.

According to Kluwe's piece, which was posted Thursday and titled "I was an NFL player until I was fired by two cowards and a bigot," Priefer criticized the punter throughout the 2012 season for his support of same-sex marriage, allegedly saying in a November team meeting that "we should round up all the gays, send them to an island and nuke it until it glows."
