NFL coach denies ‘bigot’ allegations: I have gay family members who I love
The coach of an NFL player who yesterday posted an article calling him a “bigot”, has strongly denied that he is anti-gay.
In the article he said Mike Priefer, special teams coordinator was a “bigot”, and that he voiced extreme anti-gay views while Kluwe was at the team.
“As we sat down in our chairs,” Kluwe wrote of one meeting, “Mike Priefer, in one of the meanest voices I can ever recall hearing, said: ‘We should round up all the gays, send them to an island, and then nuke it until it glows.’”
Priefer has released a statement denying the claims.
In it he says: “I want to be clear that I do not tolerate discrimination of any type and am respectful of all individuals,
“I personally have gay family members who I love and support just as I do any family member.”
The Minnesota Vikings has also denied the claims made by Kluwe in the post.
