Former punter Chris Kluwe is not finished with the Vikings yet.
Kluwe's attorney Clayton Halunen says Kluwe plans to sue the Vikings for their refusal to release the results of a six-month independent investigation into Kluwe's claims that special-teams coordinator Mike Priefer made homophobic remarks during the 2012 season.
The team and their attorneys have denied they ever told Halunen that they would not release the findings. Kluwe believes the findings will collaborate his story.
Kluwe alleges that Priefer made several homophobic statements during the 2012 season. Kluwe was released from the Vikings in 2013 for what he believed was his outspoken support of same sex marriage. Priefer has vehemently denied Kluwe's claims though Halunen says that Priefer later admitted to making the statements.
Halunen says Kluwe has no choice but to file a lawsuit against the Vikings for religious and sexual orientation discrimination and defamation unless the team reconsiders releasing the report and making a $1 million donation to a charity that supports LGBT causes.
