Chris Kluwe is back with another hysterical but on-point, biting letter to the NFL owner who donated thousands of dollars to fund an anti-LGBT campaign of hate.
Back in 2012 then-Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe penned a letter to a state anti-gay lawmaker promising him that “gay people getting married will have zero effect on your life. They won’t come into your house and steal your children. They won’t magically turn you into a lustful cockmonster.”
Naturally, Kluwe’s hysterical letter went viral, and he became one of the LGBT community’s best straight allies – so much so that many said they believed the Vikings punted him off the team because of his activism.
Kluwe is back today with another letter, this time to Bob McNair, the owner of the NFL’s Houston Texans football team. McNair, a billionaire, recently made news because he donated $10,000 to the Campaign for Houston, an anti-LGBT group working to ensure HERO – the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance – does not pass.
The tactics the Campaign are using are disgusting and offensive, and falsely paint LGBT people, especially trans people, as threatening, scary, and possibly even pedophiles who will be sharing restrooms with young girls.
Kluwe delivers an intelligent, biting, ascerbic, and exceptionally hysterical attack upon McNair, really should be read in full, over at Sports Illustrated’s The Cauldron.Â
Get ready for Kluwe’s unique brand of put-downs. A few excerpts:
“Surely,†I said to myself, “one of the NFL’s thirty-two owners, businessmen with more accumulated wealth than most third world nations and completely vested in the well-being of the society that afforded them such success … surely this man could not be a pants-on-head, cowhumping glue-huffer stupid enough to buy in on clearly outdated ideals of bigotry and intolerance?â€
Sadly, however, it appears I must hide my livestock, because the facts do not lie. You have, indeed, donated $10,000 to a cause whose sole purpose is to denigrate a specific group of American citizens.

Are you not aware that trans individuals are nine times more likely to try and kill themselves due to the odiously corrosive social views like the one you’ve just financially enabled? Have you no knowledge of the fact that LBGT youth are far more likely to experience harassment at school and home, leading to depression and ideations of self-harm — mostly due to the shortsighted wrongheadedness of privileged narcissists like yourself?
*
Kids killing themselves after being mercilessly bullied? Bob McNair just don’t care! Trans individuals murdered at an obscenely high rate? Bob McNair just don’t care! Transgender people being murdered, just because of who they are? Bob McNair just don’t care! Basic human dignity? You get the gist.

On the one hand, we have a feel good, league-sanctioned position of a professional sports league intended to support all members of the populace, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. And then on the other hand, we have you: A slack-jawed, moldering husk of pigvomit, all wrapped up in a too-expensive designer suit; a sluggish waste of oxygen who values bigotry over empathy.

Sincerely,
Someone Who Is Sick And Tired Of Watching Stupid Old White Men Ruin The World For Everyone Else Because They Can’t Get Over The Fact That Everyone Deserves A Chance To Live Their Life,
Former NFL Player,
Chris Kluwe
