Chris Kluwe (NFL Football Player)

Christopher James Kluwe might be best known as the former American football punter for the Minnesota Vikings, but that’s what defines him. He still currently holds 18 punting records with the Vikings and was widely considered one of the best punters in the NFL. In 2007 he was given 8.3 million dollar contract extension, making him one of the highest-paid punters in the league. Unfortunately, due to injuries, his performance declined. While in the NFL was very vocal about his political views and social issues. Apparently, Vikings management thought it was a distraction and asked him to stop. Kluwe didn’t stop. If anything he became more vocal. In 2013, the Vikings released Kluwe from his contract. He went on to play one more year in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders and then retired from the game. He’s published a book called Beautifully Unique Sparkleponies. It’s a collection of essays on different topics dealing with social issues and politics. He is currently working on a tabletop game called Twilight of the Gods and hopes it will be released soon.
