“Maga is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy and most importantly, Maga is explicitly a Nazi movement,” he said. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that’s what it is.”

Kluwe was outspoken on social issues during his NFL career, which lasted from 2005 to 2013, and he claimed he was eventually released by the Vikings because of his beliefs and his support for same-sex marriage.

Dude is of course punished for being a fucking awesome human being.

Luckily he's awesome so he'll probably be ok

I hate this take... the guy is good and resourcefull so it's ok to hit him because he can take it

I didn't define what it means for him to be ok. He may be able to sue, he may find a better job, I am just hopeful that he'll land on his feet since he seems like a good guy. Chill.
