.... Throughout the months of September, October, and November, Minnesota Vikings special-teams coordinator Mike Priefer would use homophobic language in my presence He would ask me if I had written any letters defending the gays recently and denounce as disgusting the idea that two men would kiss, and he would constantly belittle or demean any idea of acceptance or tolerance Mike Priefer also said on multiple occasions that I would wind up burning in hell with the gays, and that the only truth was Jesus Christ and the Bible. He said all this in a semi-joking tone, and I responded in kind ...
As [my teammates and I] sat down in our chairs, Mike Priefer, in one of the meanest voices I can ever recall hearing, said: We should round up all the gays, send them to an island, and then nuke it until it glows. The room grew intensely quiet, and none of the players said a word for the rest of the meeting.
Chris Kluwe didn't even make the list of the 40 top punters in the NFL. His stats are steadily declining and he is 32 years old. Maybe he lost his job because he never was a good punter and he isn't getting any better.
Kluwe spoke out openly and frequently about equality for gays and lesbians, and he would say that the Vikings had no problem with it.
The organization has been very supportive about my right to make my views known, Kluwe said in a 2012 interview with WCCO.
But now, in an online article titled I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards And A Bigot, Kluwe refers to Frazier and Vikings GM Rick Spielman as cowards and Priefer a bigot.
Kluwe wrote that Priefer became increasingly hostile toward him, telling him he would burn in hell with the gays.
He said Vikings owner Zygi Wilf, on the other hand, shook Kluwes hand and encouraged him to speak out, but Spielman, Frazier and Priefer teamed up to get rid of him.
On late Thursday afternoon, Priefer released this statement:
I vehemently deny todays allegations made by Chris Kluwe.
I want to be clear that I do not tolerate discrimination of any type and am respectful of all individuals. I personally have gay family members who I love and support just as I do any family member.
After the big stink from the rw's about the old fart on DD, this is exactly the reaction I expected.

“I vehemently deny today’s allegations made by Chris Kluwe.
I want to be clear that I do not tolerate discrimination of any type and am respectful of all individuals. I personally have gay family members who I love and support just as I do any family member.
The primary reason I entered coaching was to affect people in a positive way. As a coach, I have always created an accepting environment for my players, including Chris, and have looked to support them both on and off the field.
The comments today have not only attacked my character and insulted my professionalism, but they have also impacted my family. While my career focus is to be a great professional football coach, my number one priority has always been to be a protective husband and father to my wife and children.
I will continue to work hard for the Minnesota Vikings, the Wilf family and all of our loyal fans.”
After the big stink from the rw's about the old fart on DD, this is exactly the reaction I expected.

I'd bet my house that the homo punter is lying his ass off like any typical libtard.
