“Chris Kluwe stands up for what he believes is right, even if it costs him personally to do so,” Minneapolis lawyer Clayton Halunen, who will represent Kluwe, said in a statement. “It’s obvious to me, as it should be to most thinking people familiar with the situation, that Chris paid a steep price for speaking out in favor of same-sex marriage rights in 2012 while he was a Vikings player. Ultimately it may have cost him both his job with the Vikings and his career as an NFL player, along with much emotional anguish over what he believed to be a kind of personal attack on him for his views on a vital issue of human rights."

I believe and hope he will sue for wrongful termination, settle/win and consequently pick up a few more millions to augment his career NFL punter's earnings. The dramatic lawsuit will make Chris Kluwe a very high profile EX NFL player and will most likely lead to multiple media interviews, exposure and will hopefully lead to a more permanent media career. At that point, Chris can lead from the front and promote his political and social agenda.

Good for him, he has it figured out and I applaud his genius.
