Chris Kluwe: My Personal Hero — Page 2

Well yea, of course he did.

But he should have realized this before opening his obnoxious mouth.

Douchebag.

This is what I found most heartening:

"Ayanbadejo rejected the remarks and said he plans to continue supporting the same-sex marriage campaign — saying that he's offered Gov. Martin O'Malley any fundraising help he needs for the issue.

A longtime supporter of gay rights, he said the attitude on the topic has shifted significantly within the NFL. His advocacy used to lead to "snickers in the locker room" and a jokes that he is gay (he is not).

Not anymore. He said at least 10 teammates have offered support in recent days. The switch in attitude, he said, "has happened faster than I ever thought it would happen.""

>sigh....<

Punter McDreamy!

OK--seriously: what, exactly, is a punter? Does he just sit on the bench except for when they need someone to punt the ball? I could probably do that.

Speaking of Football:

One of the biggest offseason moves in the NFL was a billion-dollar deal that affected every franchise. The league switched to Nike as its uniform supplier after 10 years with Reebok, and the new line made its debut as the regular season got underway.

"Designed and engineered from the inside out, the new uniform focuses on creating a system where the baselayer, padding, jersey and pant work in concert," Nike notes in its press release.

Of course, advances in technology come with unintended consequences or unfortunate byproducts -- or both, if you happened to be watching the Lions-Rams game Sunday. Check out the multi-fabric concept in jarring reality, courtesy of Detroit left tackle Jeff Backus.

Thanks for posting that pic, NYadgal!

I saw the story on my home page and clicked on it and it seemed to dissapear. I couldn't locate it.

Leave it to BWW!

AND Mr. Kluwe has challenged Rep. Franson (R/MN) to a debate.

Ms.--although I imagine she prefers "Mrs."--Franson is a leading thinker who has said that:

"My concerns are that our children in our schools could be taught some liberal agendas because of the marriage amendment. Because in the schools they may be taught...that [same-sex marriage] is normal behavior. I personally do not believe it is."

Thanks for the link to an interesting profile--another relic for my shrine.

I don't like to sully anything Kluwe-related with negativity or snark, but I did like the comment from 'Edith' that follows the profile:

"The more he talks, the hotter he is. He's the anti-Lochte."

Not gonna lie. That Out Magazine profile turned me on.

Addison--can you add Chris Kluwe's name to the first post in the thread, so people will know you are talking about him?
