Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe is just...he's just the best.
In his latest opinion piece for CNN he's blasts those within the sport and outside of it that are denouncing a gay player for potentially coming out based on the idea that said player will be a "distraction" or that coming out is in some way "selfish."
One line to players sums it up quite nicely: "I have four simple words for you. Grow the f*** up. This is our job, we are adults, so would you kindly act like one?"
Read Kluwe's full op-ed piece after the jump!

There aren't many bullet points we look for on the resumes of male models applying to catch our eye. But we'll certainly perk up if "international rugby star" is included in a super model's most recent experience.
That might explain why D.Hedral paid extra attention to former Scottish international rugby player Thom Evans and hired the buff brute for their spring/summer 2013 campaign. Check out more images worthy of an extra long lunch break after the jump!
