"I love football, I love playing football but at the end of the day, it
is a children's game that grown men play. If I can speak out on
something, especially something that affects millions of lives and
causes young kids to kill themselves - if I can speak out on that and
help one of those young kids realize that you don't have to take that
step, to me that's worth far more than anything that I could gain from
football. I think all that we're asking and all that any athlete is
asking,
straight or gay, is judge that person by what they can do on the field.
Not by who they are, not by what their beliefs are or the color of their
skin. Judge them by their playing abilities." -
Chris Kluwe, speaking with the
Huffington Post. Kluwe was cut this week by the Minnesota Vikings.
