Der Kluwessar

Upon reflection, former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe suspects he was mebbe “a little too harsh” concerning his former supervisor, Vikings special teams coach Mike Priefer:
"After thinking about it, after reflecting on it, I don't think an appropriate punishment is if he never coaches again," Kluwe said during his appearance [on Fox Sports Live]. "I think it would be better if he got therapy, if he got counseling, and then a year or two from now, come back into the league as a role model, help out with LGBT groups, and show people that this is an important issue.

"What he said is very hurtful, but people can change."
Mike Priefer gets his mind right
How magnanimous. Then again, it’s good to know the sentence for thoughtcrime is 2 years.

Don’t turn around, uh huh uh
Der Kluwessar’s in town, uh huh huh

Just a guess – there are probably more than a few LGBT groups who are thinking to themselves, “Hey Kluwe, get off our side.”

Maybe Kluwe needs some re-education for being a douche?

Based on the available evidence, he's pretty good at it, actually.

Sadly, I think not - at least when it comes to LGBT groups. Plenty of average gay/lesbian/bi-sexual people I'm sure are put off by Kluwe's attempts at activism, but I think those organizations whose existence thrives (and depends) upon stoking fears of gay bigotry love Kluwe's tactics.

Every cause needs a martyr, even a foul-mouthed, abusive one in the form of Chris Kluwe.
