OT: Chris Kluwe unjustly fired?

[BeaverPoke]

I don't know much about this situation, but I find it ironic that in a country where we are working towards Gay rights so much, that this country cares more about some fucking rich red-neck on TV spouting off some totally asinine bullshit and how his "rights" we violated, but we can't even give a gay person 2 minutes without berating them.

Since most of your posts read like the rantings of a dumb redneck: I think it's ironic that you call someone else a redneck. I'll make it simple for you: If Aaron Rogers had made the comments the punter had, he wouldn't have been cut. If Duck Dynasty wasn't making millions of dollars for A and E, then that show might be off the air.

This might have been the funniest post I have EVER read on this board. Calling ME a dumb redneck? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Haha if you have EVER met me, you would instantly know I'm not.
Go ahead and ask any of the members on this board that have met me, see what they think. :rofl: :thumb:

And most of my posts are rantings of a dumb redneck? Go ahead and find some, please.

You're reading comprehension skills are seriously lacking. Re read my post and try and find where I call you a redneck. If I was an educator at UW, I would be embarrassed to read your fractured grammar and logic. Just to quote "in a country where we are working towards Gay rights so much". That reads like a 3d grade dropout. Try and collect your limited thoughts before you express yourself in such an idiotic manner.

In the NFL the BEST players play. Period. I am sure if the vikings considered him the best option at punter they would have stuck with Kluwe. If someone better can take your position in the NFL it WILL happen.

Or someone cheaper will take your position. If you're a disposable player (punter, kicker, special teamer) you better be a HOFer or undoubtedly your contract will cost you your job at some point.

No clear cut answer here.

First, he is a punter without great skills. Good, but not great. Punters like him are a dime a dozen in the NFL, and he was being overpaid a bit. So, it was an easy decision to cut him.

Second, he was opinionated and a self promoter. Kind of a pain in the butt to management in the NFL, who are a bit on the homophobic side.

Bad combination if you wish to keep your job as a punter being paid more than you are probably worth. I see fault with Vikings management for cutting him, but it wasn't totally based on his views and outspoken behavior.

Kind of a grey area here.

I don't think you know what the definition of Ironic is.

 

[BJC]

This is a true answer. I honestly don't know if my activism was the reason I got fired.

However, I'm pretty confident it was.

My feeling about this is:

"I honestly don't know if I am sick and tired of hearing about gays and their rights, but.........I'm pretty damn sure I am".

Being tired of hearing about it is one thing, but the bigger issue here is someone getting fired for their personal views.

what if your personal view is that the receptionist likes getting slapped on the ass?

Hahahaha well is it a nice ass? :shock:

Punters aren't allowed to have views.. or be in the Hall of Fame. Just punt the ball, collect your average salary of $1 million for punting the ball about 75 times during the regular season, avoid the shanks, punt for as long as you can and then retire. Then you can spout off about how unfair your life is.

I'm sorry but Ray Guy should be in the hall of fame. It's ridiculous that certain positions are not well represented in the hall of fame.
