Assuming it was the small meeting, if I were Walsh or Loeffler, I would be hoping there is no lawsuit. Since I believe Kluwe, I don't think the coach will file a defamation suit, because he can't count on those two players purgering themselves.

Did you see the City Pages story where Kluwe now says Priefer can coach in the NFL as long as he changes his beliefs and goes through counseling. I think everybody is now waiting for the investigative report by the outside lawyers.
