I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards And A Bigot.

I don’t, as they say, “do football,” but this piece just solidifies my love for Chris Kluwe, one of our most vocal allies.

Chris Kluwe is the best! He’s passionate and he just gets it. Also, he defies — utterly and completely — the stereotype of the dumb, uninformed jock. Which, in this case, I think, is perfect, since he’s all about breaking down stereotypes for others.

Like Brendon Ayanbadejo of my hometown Baltimore Ravens, Kluwe makes me want to root for the Minnesota Vikings simply because he’s on the team. Maybe I’ll pull for both teams this year!
