1. I've been a Kluwe fan ever since this piece:

http://deadspin.com/5823788/chris-kluwe-responds-can-i-kick-it-yes-i-can

but now I'm a super fan. He's one of the good guys.

[Raster]

3. Nice smackdown.

Thanks for pointing this one out. Damned good read. Kluwe does have a way with words.

[joshcryer]

41. I'm actually jealous with how good he is with words.

What a magnificent writer. He'd probably make more money writing books. And that's saying something since writers don't get millions per 'play' (ie, book).

[SomeGuyInEagan]

20. Jinkies! He has a way with words.

Some of the most enjoyable writing I have read in a long time.

[reflection]

24. When you read the tripe he was responding to,

it's even funnier. Nate Jackson brought a knife to a gunfight, as a certain elderly person who screams at chairs would say.

40. fromunda

Fucking. Goddamn. Amazing. I love him too.

[Raster]

2. Thank you, Chris Kluwe!!!

AWESOME comment!!!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

4. I think I have a new crush!

[4th law of robotics]

5. "lustful cockmonster"

That has to be a band name.

[daleanime]

6. If not....

I'm sure it will be soon.

[Neoma]

14. It'd be Spinal Tap's next band name idea.

[PD Turk]

15. Or...

The title of the next Motorhead album

[pink-o]

43. They'd have to play on the same bill

as Pussy Riot.

Equal time, right?

[MADem]

51. My very thought!! nt

[47of74]

54. Filing that away for future use

[4th law of robotics]

55. The lustful cockmonsters can't just be filed away man

they're going to explode on to the music scene.

Their bursting talent cannot be contained!

[Zalatix]

7. Chris Kluwe can be sued if his comment sparks a giant riot by Vikings fans.

[VWolf]

8. Makes me proud to be a Vikings fan

Did I just type "PROUD to be a Vikings fan" ???

Satan, get yer ice skates on!

[Sophiegirl]

9. WOW

I wish I could post "WOW" in HUGH letters in the subject line.

[Stainless]

10. Thank You Chris Kluwe

Your articulate remarks dispel the myth of the "Dumb Jock".

[kestrel91316]

11. And he's attractive on the OUTSIDE, too!

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Way to go Chris,

welcome to Minnesota,land of progressive ideals and sharing people. Thanks man,you really pissed off the big churches,Lutherans,Catholics,Baptists and especially the Mormons. The big four hate groups behind most backassward legislation in Minnesota. You rock man!! You just got yourself 10's of thousands of supporters from all over.

[SomeGuyInEagan]

21. We really need to send him on a speaking tour of the MN 6th CD ...

... up toward St. Cloud, then over to the NE 'burbs.

[lonestarnot]

13. K & R!

[Auntie Bush]

16. Now that is a pretty savy fellow.

Pretty too.

[Suji to Seoul]

17. You mean I won't divorce my wife if gay people get's married?

REALLY???? REALLY?????

[4th law of robotics]

18. Well as it stands now there's a 50/50 shot.

[reflection]

25. I heard that.

I called my wife to tell her I was divorcing her, but there was just silence on the other end of the line. I was completely befuddled until I realized I was speaking into an erect penis and not a phone.

[awoke_in_2003]

29. I hate it when that happens. nt

[progressoid]

27. As soon as Iowa allowed teh gays to marry, I knew my marriage was in trouble.

Any day now, Ima gonna have to call one of them divorce lawers.

The end is near!

[pink-o]

44. You might not, but maybe Marcus Bachmann would! n/t

[Suji to Seoul]

45. fuck him and his batshit crazy shrew of a wife

[Fearless]

19. It's good to see the NFL and other sports stars

Speak out on these issues. These segments of society used to be bastions for hate and intolerance of LGBT people. I'm glad to see this is changing. Now if Tim Tebow would just STFU, his stupid is showing.

[geardaddy]

22. That's our punter.

I'm so glad he blasted that idiot.

[titanicdave]

23. Fantastic......

with people like this in the NFL, it shows that they know more than just football........well said Chris

[xmas74]

26. This is the only time a Packers fan

will cheer for someone who plays for the Vikings.

[rbnyc]

28. WARNING: Don't Look At THIS Graphic Unless You Can Handle Colorful Language

Seriously, it's a great graphic and a great quote. I just couldn't help myself.

[tclambert]

30. What about sex with animals? Rick Santorum said . . .

well, I don't remember exactly. It was something really, really stupid about gay marriage forcing him to have sex with horses or turtles or some such.

[porphyrian]

31. . n/t

[myrna minx]

32. .

[wiggs]

33. Go Bruins! nt

[patrice]

34. Yes, Chris! No permanent American legal-underclass! Not on our watch! Never!!!

[Quixote1818]

35. This guy is a much bigger hero than Tim Tebow. nt

[Suji to Seoul]

36. The only reason Tebow is a hero to alot of people is because he wears Jesus on his shirt

and has him #1 on his speed dial.

[Cha]

37. Bless Chris' Wise

heart

[deafskeptic]

38. He's my hero now!

I'm not a big fan of football but Kluwe rocks!

[Mnemosyne]

39. Bravo Chris! I couldn't care less that he plays football. Will this hurt his career? nt

[malokvale77]

42. Well he has a fully functioning brain...

so I imagine he'd do fine outside of football. Look at Allen Page.

[Mnemosyne]

46. Great point. I have no clue who Allen Page is, football? nt

[Iggo]

48. Defensive line for the Purple People Eaters in the 60s and 70s.

Great player. Big, mean, and nasty. (second from the left, #88)


Went on to become a judge and I believe a State Supreme Court Justice, probably Minnesota.

[Mnemosyne]

56. Very interesting. Thanks! nt

[malokvale77]

57. Exactly...

Thanks for fleshing that out for me.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

47. Packers fan here....

This guy rocks!

Although to be honest, I WAS looking forward to the "orgy of hedonistic debauchery." Pooh.

[SpankMe]

49. Kluwe's got some monster huge balls...

American football is generally a pretty conservative enterprise. It is sheer bravery that this man came forward with such a bold and candid statement on this issue.

He also happens to be right.

[47of74]

50. That was actually pretty mild...

The only thing that even came close to colorful was "lustful cockmonster."

[Iggo]

53. There's a longer version out there.

That's just an excerpt. Eff-words and assholes included.

[bamacrat]

52. Life long Vikings fan, glad to hear someone in sports say this.
