Former Vikings punter Kris Kluwe said he was cut because of his outspoken views on gay marriage. Specifically he called Viking coach Mike Priefer homophobic.
Priefer, who has homosexual family members, said that Kluwe has attacked his character.
Kluwe has not been signed by any other NFL team since being cut. I think that says more about Kluwe's standing in the NFL than anything else. He's says everybody's afraid of his right to free speech.
I think they know he has problems with punting.
We'll see where this goes. It's always easy for guys with big mouths to claim discrimination. But most people don't like working with people with big mouths. It not his views that offend people. It's the size of his mouth. It's not what he believes that bothers people, it's his incessant condescending view of others who don't agree with him.
That and leaving balls hang rather than hitting the coffin corner.
